Too Much

I started this blog for a number of reasons, the most important one being a place for me to write on a close-to-daily basis. I have yet to do that. The biggest problem is I am not a structured person. I don't follow a consistent schedule even with work. I'm sure I could be much more productive if everything in my life followed a set schedule (working out, paying bills, etc)...but there I go ramblin' away.

I once got to meet Chuck Palahniuk when he did a speaking engagement in Philadelphia. One of the things that he said about writing was that it must be treated like a job for those who are aspiring writers. That you MUST write every day, even if it's only a few sentences, otherwise you'll turn around and it's months since you've written anything.

so I'm going to do what I can to follow his advice.

In the short time I've been working for Gamestop, this company has proven to be so much better than Game Crazy in every way imaginable. It was like a cult with Game Crazy, they were so intent on convincing us that Gamestop was this evil corporate entity that didn't care about customer service. In fact, it is the exact opposite. The company has done more for me in 8 months than Game Crazy did for me in nearly 2 years. And look where Game Crazy is now; gone. I wish I could talk to some of the corporate leaders of Game Crazy one last time just to see if they really believed all the crap they were telling us or if it was just selling the drama to keep their jobs. I think the biggest thing is the district manager I have for Gamestop is a great district manager who actually cares about us as people, not just numbers. Game Crazy never did that.
