Could you pull off Marty McFly of the future? Either his kid or himself.

[Nekoai-kun]

I dont think so. But I think I could pull off a Doc Brown ^.^

[Disciple of Sakura]

Ah, the Doc. Why not build a time machine in style?

[Nekoai-kun]

If ever manage to get the money, I am so buying a Delorean.

[Disciple of Sakura]

I love that, were it not for BttF, the Delorean would have been forgotten for all time. It was a huge commercial failure.

[Nekoai-kun]

So you could say that the BTTF trilogy.... *David Caruso glasses* made the Delorean timeless.

[Disciple of Sakura]

You could, I suppose. I wouldn't, though. razz

[Nekoai-kun]

That's ok, I already did. : ^ 9

[Disciple of Sakura]

Nooooo!!!!!

In other news, the new store manager where I work started on Monday. Curious to see how the overall feel of the workplace changes in the coming weeks...

[Mokoni]

They shoulda given you manager.

[Nekoai-kun]

Indeed. It sounds like you're definitely qualified for the position based on the work you've told us about.

Curses! My plans to cosplay Lord Vader from planet Vulcan have been foiled!

[Disciple of Sakura]

Oh, I applied for an Assistant Store Manager position that opened up recently at a different store, and I was told that I can't leave my current position for at least another year. Unless I quit the company, at least. Though, for the record, I didn't want to be Store Manager at that store. Didn't want to have to put up with that level of bullshit.

[Nekoai-kun]

Hmm, sounds like you deal with manager-level BS as it is. And term of service contracts stink. ><

[Disciple of Sakura]

Apparently, my "promotion" to General Merchandise Manager from Customer Service Manager means that I can't apply for another position for 18-24 months from the start date (this past April). This was not explained to me when I got the job, nor was I really given a choice in the matter. They never once asked me "Do you want this promotion?" It was pretty much a "We're giving you this promotion." So that really doesn't seem fair at all, but what do I know.

This is the second time they've managed to trap me at the store, beyond the initial 18-month wait from when I first started. I am not happy at all. We'll have to see if the store gets better under the new manager, or else I'll be looking for a different place to work entirely, and my 12 years with the company will be over.
