August 26, 2005

I left the iAudio at home when I went to class so I wouldn't blog with it again.

I don't want to over-saturate. One can only stand so much of my scary voice. Brer said my silly recordings were enjoyable. Dunno if he was just being nice, heh, but I suppose that's, um, a review that you can choose to trust. Or not. Whatever. (Propaganda! (Just a bit!))
See, I recorded that podcast with things in mind to say, and I honestly said NONE of them! So here they are.
I bought a set of headphones for my iAudio because they come with really, really suck. You wouldn't think it would be hard to make a decent pair of bud headphones, but theirs are completely unuseable. So I bought a new pair. They're the Sony kind that I always used with my old MP3 player (which I think Jonathan might be inheriting for me. If so, good for him). I liked them then. I used them so much I literally broke one of the buds (not pulled out a cord or something, the bud fell apart). However, that MP3 player had a little carrier tthat attached to my waist or whatnot. The cord is too short to have the thing in my pocket! It makes me wish I had the little remote dongle thingy. That'd extend the cord just enough AND I wouldn't have to fiddle with it in my pocket. But like the iAudio itself, it's damn cool but also very expensive cause it has a tiny LCD screen and everything. Do they sell just cord extenders for headphones? I'd like a solution that doesn't involve more expensive ordering. I've done plenty lately. Time to stop. I'll check by Best Buy before I go to work, probably... I didn't see any when I was there last night BUYING the headphones that I can remember though...
Another thing about headphones: Why the hell would I want noise-cancelling headphones? That just seems plain dangerous. And since I'm mainly listening these days at work, I need to hear if I'm paged.
I'm paged alot. I'm paged more than Kathy, really. I can tell she appreciates me, and I'm glad. Like... she wanted to send everyone home and just me and her fix the whole store last night. Didn't happen that way, thank gods, but, you know, she thinks I do good work, and that's good.
She should make me Assistant Ad Set Lead.
The position is basically open. I think Shane is technically it, but he does Ad-set maybe once every... 2 weeks? And even then, Kathy has never been very happy with his performance. I mean, Shane's a pretty cool guy, I enjoy working with him on the truck nights, like tonight, and he does a great job being truck lead. But I stay late and fix things. I make sure everyone knows what they're doing. I fix the computer and printer for people. I train two people at once AND get my section done on time. These are things an assistant-type person does, right? I don't want more pay, perse, I just think that'd look good on a job application, you know? I do good work, dammit! Employee of the month is not enough, I must move up the ranks! Teeny tiny steps at least!
Essner is making me get Realplayer again. REALPLAYER, I HATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU! But I like live recordings from my favorite bands. Bastards and their realplayer formats...
Edit: Okay, Essner, fine. It was a nessessary evil. That was definately worth selling my soul to Realplayer.
