So I haven’t really mentioned my new job. I am now a salesfloor working at Target. Whoo! It’s near to my new school so pretty convenient for me. Orientation was last Saturday and I worked both Wednesday and Thursday. Weds was cashier training (everyone does it) and then Thursday I got to work in Electronics, which was fun.

Overall I think that I underestimated how much behind the scenes stuff goes on in retail. Like if you leave a product out in an aisle it doesn’t belong, someone has to go around and pick that up. Or if you ask for a gift receipt while you’re paying, it’s frusterating. On that last bit, it’s good to ask for a GR when the cashier scans the item. It’s pretty fun to see so many different people and help them. Didn’t take long to get the hang of the routine either. So yeah, I’m pretty happy to be working their and the rest of the staff seems to be very nice too.

Now I have more serious issues to discuss. Lenovo has a new ultraportable laptop to rival the Macbook AIR. Lenovo’s model has the much less interesting name X300 though. My only thought on this is “Do they even have a design team?”. The laptop fails to capture any aesthetic pleasure at all. It’s RIDICULOUS. I’m all for someone taking on Apple, but don’t you think if you’re fighting fire with fire you could at least look as stylish as the other guy. Ugh.
