A Finals Birthday Inventory of Alcoholic proportions

Let's recap the first part of this month.

May 6th, marked another year o my life, in which I turned 23. There were people in my house, cake was eaten, and happy birthday was sung. I visited Malibu Grand Prix for a little bit, and sister took my for 3 laps. Driving that way kinda scares me, so that's why I didn't take the wheel. It was a fun, and interesting experience. I'll stay away from it. Also, previously in the day, I nervously took my Physics final, and also worked, before coming home for the party.

May 9th, was the last of my two finals. The hardest ones too. My calc final was tense, but I survived. The Programming Language Concepts was just right, and I think I did well, more about that down the line.

From then one, we started prepping for Inventory at my store. People were a bit of a mood around the store, but it was to be expected.

May 12th, one of my previous bosses, Ezi, came into town. He was visiting back from Puerto Rico. Justin called me on my phone, and asked me to meet them at Wild Bills. Well, I do have to say that was a mighty interesting night. First, Ezi greeted me with this huge bear hug, lifted me up, and bounced me in the air. I was like woah there. Heh, that's Ezi. After I sat, I was offered a beer, which to drink. I haven't drank anything in 2 years, but this was a Ezi kinda get together, so hell. I then segwayed with two shots and finished drinking the beer in 30 seconds. Request of another one of my ex managers. I so obliged. Ohh my, I felt the effects of everything within instants. My hearing was muffled, my sense of balance was off, and all those other things. My head felt woobly.

First to suffice, I'm not drinking again. That was time #8, and that's enough. While there, I ended up playing air hockey and pool, which I did decently well. I was better in pool than ever before. Granted, I was playing slightly tipsy, against someone in a similar state. That really doesn't say much at all. I did get my ass kicked in air hockey, because that darn puck was moving faster than my eyes cared to register.

After hanging out more, and watching Ezi "attempting" to dance we left. Ohh, granted to say, I did get taken out for about 15 seconds, and Ezi danced with me. It was the funniest thing ever, and I just could not believe it. I do have to say, he leads mightly powerfully. LOL

Sister came to pick me up, because I wasn't going to drive. I left my car at work, and drove with her home. Next day of course, I had a mild headache, and my stock was sour for 2 days. I hate the effects of alcohol on my body, and that stamps the reminder why I stopped drinking in the first place.

May 13th we had a Star Wars Price Wars late night even in my store. Yeah, it was a just a tad of lame marketing, but that's life in retail I wore a X-Wing Pilot outfit. While Suraj, and Ed wore other outfits. Being that I'm not a star wars geek, I really did not have much of an idea of anything. They taped us in various areas of the store, for corporate purposes. There were a few pictures snapped, they are in my picture gallery of course (I am the dorky looking dude in the orange jumpsuit)

May 14th was the evil, but necessary day of inventory. Things went decently well, although, I learned still don't really like my current managers. Inventory took longer than usual. Reason being, it was more disorganized than I have ever seen it. Also, we didn't have enought people to be with all the counters. That means they counted however they felt like it. Up and down, and some other seemingly random patterns, instead of left to right, top to bottom.

I ended up getting out of the store around 1AM, since I had just hit overtime. Other people stayed there a bit later, but overall we were all done. Reconciling is going ok so far from what I hear. Although, it did not help that the GM and sales manager let some things get moved around. That screws things up big time. While it annoyed me, I just shrugged it of. What can I do about it... Nothing.

Aside from that, I'm currently on a month break from school. As I mentioned before, I am taking summer school for my Calc III class. I thought of just getting it over it, and it won't disrupt with anything else, since I'll have plenty of time to fully get into it.

Right now, I'm just analyzing things to come, and seeing how it will all pan out.
