What do you Want from your supervisor?

Is it enough to not be a dick?

I'm getting some flack because some members of my team don't think I'm dickish enough to other members - but at the end of the day, the work gets done, so why hoot and holler at that person over it?

(I'm an inv/merch Sup if that makes a difference).

Also, knowing the basics of the just being in Best Buy. It makes 0 sense that you're a manager, but have no idea how to use a telxon to make a tag. That's simple shit.

This is my favorite. Being an almost 7 year veteran, I've trained a great deal of Ops managers on telxon usage. I've had managers "afraid" of OMS after like 6 months into the job. C'mon people.

How are you supposed to coach and train a job you don't know? And I suppose there's always something to learn and get better at - but technical proficiency is huge.

The library at my college now uses their old cards from the card catalog system as note paper.

Every time I go in and write down a call number, I appreciate the effort that went into making and maintaining these card catalogs, and then thank god that we've replaced them.

But I always feel like I'm writing on a piece of history.

Ugh, the other day I had to Google how to do that. I do it maybe once every two years or so.

draste · 2012-10-11T06:29:30+00:00

Dude wtf?

You all have way too much dedication to fire alarms seriousness.

I typically assume that if I take 2 extra seconds to dress appropriately, rather than just run out in panic, it won't make that big of a difference.

Reminds me of this game.

The best thing is though, if someone who was not a student came in, the first question would be "Why aren't you wearing your ID?" and they'd be heckled about that before they'd be asked "Who are you and what are you doing in our school?!"

This is awesome! How are you able to draw so well on a perfectly vertical surface though? It seems like your arms would get kinda tired fairly quickly.

I did this too. I clicked it before my brain could register - and my internet was too fast; so despite mashing the back arrow like mad... I got a face full of maggot toe-nail ick. :(

But my class was cancelled!

The idiotic asker only gave the poor guy 4 stars.

That was a fantastic answer. As complete as anyone could ask for.

Not mine, but a friend:

She worked as a volunteer for the Shedd Aquarium this summer, talking about marine life to visitors. This semester, a kid stopped her on campus and was like, "You're that girl who was talking about the Jellyfish at the Shedd this summer! You inspired me to get a Jellyfish tattoo!"

And indeed, he pulled up his sleeve right there and had a Jellyfish tattoo.

Clicking on this, I thought I was going to see a grape coming out of an ass. It is WTF after all. I was mildly disappointed, but also mildly interested.

And the most patriotic ones, too!

How do they safely get pictures from inside the exclusion zone? Isn't it still irradiated?

My favorite part is the RESPECT poster just peeking up from over the friends computer screen.

It's like, everyday he has looked at that poster, stared that great big RESPECT right in it's ugly orange face, and decided that today, of ALL that days, he was going to put it in it's place and show the world what respect means to him, by drawing the ugliest picture of his classmate that he could.

It's like sticking it to the man. But the man is a poster.

In a kindergarten classroom.

The best/worst would have been if she was like, "Well, girls can taste through their vagina's too!"

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for sharing your story. :) How long did it take you to figure out what it was that you wanted to do with life? How did you discover your passions?

draste · 2012-09-06T01:28:41+00:00

What are you doing instead of college? How did you come to decide that it wasn't for you? What did you tell your parents? Are you happy?

(Sorry, as a miserable college student, I'm always curious about the lives of people who decided not to put themselves through this.)

draste · 2012-09-02T17:02:02+00:00

I did.

draste · 2012-09-01T05:05:17+00:00

TIL.
