As I haven't exactly been overly diligent lately in updating this, I suppose I had better take this opportunity before bed to relate the last week of my oh so exciting life.
Today was my second last shift at EB. I think they've replaced me with Nancy, but apparently Ashley's leaving at the end of June and Frank said he was hiring two people...so...well, I guess Nancy won't mind having five shifts a week until Frank gets around to hiring someone else...
My last shift is on Friday, my official last day according to my letter of resignation - just like at Blockbuster, where on my official last day I worked an inventory (that was supposed to be a closeventory). On the very plus side, Carley will be home when I get off work for the long weekend - the first weekend in a month that I won't be working - so that will make for an excellent few days.
As for Georgian, aside from the God awful sleep deprivation that comes from having to be in Barrie for 5:45 AM half the time, the job is excellent. It would be worth it if all I got was the free gym membership, but the job will easily pay for another semester of school, and about half of my car - the rest of which should be paid off after another semester at the gym.
On one final note, I have discovered something Blockbuster has over EB (at the moment) - trading in games. A comparison:
Blockbuster - I bought three games from EB for the combined total of $29. I traded them in at Blockbuster for a total of $72 - which has bought me Hotel Rwanda and the first season of Scrubs.
EB - You could buy pre-owned copies of XIII, Crimson Skies and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for as little as $95.19. If you were to trade those in immediately after buying them, you would get $12.
While my leaving EB will not result in a plethora of anti-EB posts (as my leaving Blockbuster did), I really couldn't pass up pointing out that particular discrepancy. Make no mistake, EB is nowhere near the soul reaving company that Blockbuster is, but I have a funny feeling they want to be.
Alright, I think that's got everything caught up. I've been able to survive this long without Carley, but let's just say I'm glad she's coming home this weekend.
