More updates on my new employment and life as an ex-regional manager.
I'm really enjoying this new vibe.
Here is a taste of todays events.
I woke up early without the aid of a cell phone alarm.
I reformatted my Sony HDWM and loaded it with arse/ass kickers, Calyx (DNB) and some mighty fine trance Above and Beyond, Mike Hoglins remix of the Fine Day track by Opus III, and the classic stomper Trancelate by Clubmosphere.
Armed with sounds to pound, I embarked on perhaps the craziest fucking day I have ever had in retail.
Bare in my mind that I am used to giving orders not taking them and pointing out others lack of vision and drive, and here I am with a day where we must have had several thousand people through the doors, going hard.
In the beginning we had people walking through my department straight to the HiFi boys and their 50" LCD and plasma's, can't have that. So I go and load up the surround sound PC speaker kit I have, the one that is 500 watts RMS, yes, that's total continuous power... and let loose on the masses, a storm of breaks, four four stompers, and pure "Hey you stop and look over here" track after track madness.
It worked.
We powered this shit out the door. It was nuts, just like arrivals (location humour), but amped up on subs.
Before we knew it six hours had passed and we hadn't had breaks - none of the team was worried...
Then out of no where and I shit you not loyal fan base of planet earth, the regional manager, on his day off comes bolting in with one of those peaches boxes from childhood packed with V and Redbull.
In the middle of a sale of two 16GB Ipod touches, he runs up to me and pushes the box in front of me and my customers and says in his Australian accent, "Hey maaaate, qweck, drenk one of theeese, hurrrry up, come on" - I try not to fill my underwear as I laugh my ass off and my customers start to crack up.
As I chug the V down, he runs off shouting to staff ,"Qweck, hurry up drenk one - I look after my team heeeeere"
In true kiwi style, may I say... "What a good cunt".
Today was a record day for sure. We are talking what my former organisation would do in a month, but within a day.
HAAAAAARDCORE.
Love it.
Peace.
