When life hands you phonebooks...

Jun 26, 2004 08:19

When business gets slow during the summer months at an art supply store things get boring. Sometimes mind-numbingly boring. It's during these instances you must make the decision- think of something to do, or go slowly mad. Settlers coined this term 'cabin fever' and it's not too terribly fun. Now you may be asking yourself 'Well, why don't you ( Read more... )

I think you mean...'innovators?' :)

Fucking hell yeah! I love your game!You need to do demos of this in front of the store...I am sure that the biddies will find it offensive...but others will be intrigured...

I wish we were this slow, yet I don't. We're so busy. It has not stopped! THIS IS JUNE! And we're busy...I shouldn't complain though right?

The oil bars arrived today. I have to use them. There are too many piggies on the road right now. I will most likely stay where I am tonight and work on them in the morning...look at all the little piggies...grr...

Have fun with those oil bars :) Some trivia: The son of the owner of Texas Art Supply owns the company MisterArt.com... A very enterprising group of people...and diverse! Amongst their business ventures and friendly takeovers you'll find banks, restaurants and exotic strip clubs.

hey
I wondered about that...seriously! So does that mean that I have sold my soul? Are these people the next walmart? What banks, restuarants and strip clubs do they own? heh!

Here is an idea for work: Can you people do instore demos with the art supplies while you're bored? That might help move merchandise. It will also alleviate the stress of boredom and satisfy your curiosity. There has to be something that you haven't used before. Just a suggestion. I hated retail because I always found ways to keep busy.

Umm yeah we 'demo' the art supplies but not for the customers benefit.

Its good to see you're being productive dear :P hehe

Hey speaking of time wasting enterprises....are you still playing star wars galaxies? the last 2 times you called me stuff was happening and I didn't get to talk to you about much of anything >_<

*hugs*

I'm glad you liked the game. If necessity is the mother of invention, then boredom must be an uncle or something. A surly uncle who complains when kids are playing too loud.

I stopped playing SWG a while back but I'm planning on starting up again when the space expansion comes out. My goal will probably be to become the most stylish captain in the galaxy. I'd design my ship like a French pop lounge and host interstellar parties.
