Infinite Unshitcovering

Well, I'm pissed.

A company's gotta come out to my place to fix my damn sink, my kitchen's flooded (still after two fucking days), aaaaaaaaaaaaand there's really no point in staying at the apartment when it smells like fish covered in buttflex.

Apart from that, my keyboard decided to give up on me after four years of ... average service. Now I'm using this one that Matt gave me that has a bogus space bar.

Hmm, oh yeah, GameCrazy's riding the failboat at maximum speed. To where? I guess Fail Island. Where all that failsense adds up in the heads of whatever the fuck the people up top are thinking. I was reading on The Escapist, and I've heard yet another reason as to why they're shutting down a shit load of stores. First I here that they're trying a new direction for opening new stores, then I hear that the focus is switching to the Hollywood/Movie Gallery side, then I hear that they can't fucking afford to buy any of the Q4 releases, and now they tell Escapist that it's because the stores they're closing are "underperforming."

Bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit.

You know, it's probably true. But then you also have to look at the awesome decisions these people at the top have made prior to this awesome decision. Kinda like the whole "firing someone" is the best solution to everything. I've heard of some other brilliant ideas that the suits have had in the past, and all I'm doing is sucking my thumb hoping that my future with the company is safer than the printer I nearly kick to pieces every time it jams over nothing.

Oh, but of course my future isn't safe.

So yes, we're in the process of liquidating our inventory into piles of boxes for our ultra-buff Fedex guy to work on while we figure out what the hell we're going to do for the next month as any chance of saving ourselves turns into an entire month of watching borrowed episodes of The Simpsons from the Hollywood side.

But what do any of our non-regulars care? They get an awesome sale out of it. They get to go back to Gamestop and assume that they're saving the most money while their dumbshit employees twittle their thumbs at the idea of guest interaction. It's a small price to pay for them that they're going to get all of our business in exchange for all of the turds that went to GameCrazy before that were too cool to get the MVP or pre-order any games because it was "a waste of money."

I just feel shitty that we're losing a large portion of awesome regulars that have reminded me what it's like to have fun helping people. It's just awful that after all the time they've spent telling us how much they hate Gamestop, they have to go right back, while the generally pudgy, socially awkward, fake elitists get to gloat about how they beat us. Come to think of it, it would be just swell if Gamestop just acquired our entire staff to take over one of their stores and fire the lot of them. That would be awesome.


Ok, I'm too angry. I'm gonna go kill stuff in Call of Duty.
