So, back in high school, I used to work in a pizza shop. It was part of a major chain (won’t say which one), so let’s call it Major Pizza Place. While working at MPP, I tried to make sure that I was always working as hard as I could because hey, if you can’t be proud of your job, at least be proud of the job you do, right? Right. So, after about a month, I had the respect of our managers and drivers and in-store employees (read: phone bitches). After about two months, I had been given full authority in the store, allowed to do any of the standard managerial duties if called for.
After a few more months, I was nominated for an assistant manager’s position (due to the leaving of our current one). Corporate stepped in and decided that an 18-year-old who had been with the company for less than half a year was not suited to be in management (also cuz I’d probably be off to college soon), so they sent in their own new management staff to replace our current lineup. I wasn’t that terribly disappointed, since it wouldn’t have changed my job all that much. Mr. P, who took over for Mr. N, was our new general manager. He was very efficient and very hard-working, and respected anyone who worked in the same manner. No troubles there. Our new assistant manager, however (more…)
So, I guess I have to do some quick re-capping since coming home from Japan. Disclaimer: my life is very boring, which is why I tend to try and surround myself with as many interesting people as possible. So far, I think I’ve done a good job.
After getting home from Japan at the beginning of June, I had about 2 days to recover before being whisked away to (more…)
So, I had been hoping that after getting back from Japan, enough interesting things would happen to blog about, well, once every week or two, maybe. Clearly, this has not been the case. Heh. At any rate, I have decided to take this blog in a new direction. The title here is “Relative to what?” with the tagline: “perspective changes everything.” Yes this is a horrible joke because I’m a physicist, but even moreso, I would like to embody this a bit further in future posts. And so from here on out, unless something particularly exciting goes down in my life (don’t get your hopes up…), the primary purpose of this blog will be for the sake of reviews, opinions, and editorials. In paricular, I’d like to be able to talk about one of my favorite topics, Japanese music. I’ll be covering a range of mediums, including (but not limited to): live shows, DVDs of live shows, album/single releases, and any particular news that might be interesting. Please make the distinction that this blog will not be for delivering the latest news about my favorite artists (as I could never hope to compete with Dlyan’s speed), but rather instead just give a bit of insight into what’s going on and share some ideas with all of you. Please be kind and receive me well!
Regards,
Toomin
