I've found my niche
Jun. 1st, 2002 12:12 pmI was just messing around with the LJ search function today, and out of curiosity, searched on the place where I worked, just to see if there were any interest groups for it. I found one,
kmart, that apparently only has its founder and myself as members. I shrugged and posted to it anyway. But then, looking at the founder's info page, I noticed another community...an active one...called
retail_is_hell.
It's just perfect! Finally, somewhere I can read stories from life of other people who have the same problems I do, and share my problems for a little commiseration! I can already tell that reading this group is gonna be some big-time therapeutic.
There's a meeting of the local Linux user-group tonight, and I'm thinking about taking my computer down there to get it looked at. There are two major Issues I'd like to get settled...a problem with truetype fonts that's making my eterms not work right, and getting set up to burn CDROMs with my CDROM burning drive (which I've never been able to make work). Ordinarily, I don't like to move my computer anymore, since I got cablemodem; I took it to a nearby LAN arcade a few times for gaming events, but got the feeling that the movement was putting needless wear and tear on its connections. However, it's possible that it just might be worth it this time. Heck, I might even see if I can get that pesky RealMagic DVD player software working, too.
I just have to get through a 4.5 hour workday wearing a silly t-shirt first. I think I can do that.
