DirectTV

Anyone? I have a subscription that I'm about to have to pay the early termination cost to get out of... One of those, "Oh, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, so SURE I'll sign a 2yr contract" type thoughts that I had pre-Addie. (Thankfully AT&T let me out of said thought pattern, withOUT paying the early termination fee) Anyway, I'm pretty sure I can transfer the account to someone, somewhere else.. and you'd even get $10 a month off of the subscription cost for the first 6 months! (I think there's a year left)

Let me know if you're interested, otherwise I'm going to call them in a couple days and just take the whack and close it down.


Oh, and I shot some SAWEEEET video of a normal-grade powerstrip blowing up in the Vann's warehouse. And the power management WE sell taking the hit just fine and doing exactly what its supposed to do. (kill the power) I'll have to get permission to post it anywhere public, but I'm going to start working on the edit next week. (Per request from the wife who wants to spend time with me this week, since I worked on my day off.) [Love ya babe!]

AOR

... which means, Area of Responsibility. Mine's going to be the Receiver / Speaker section of the Bozeman Vann's store. I have much learning to do, and I hope to start putting together cool audio packages as I begin to learn the ropes. I'm not sure where I'm going to be posting my blog/packages/deals, but keep an eye out and I'll let ya know. This also goes for any appliances you might be looking for! I've been quoting out a couple kitchens lately and I'm hopefully on 2 of the most recent ones. Sometimes it feels a bit tougher sometimes for me to 'beat' prices at places like Sears, Lowes and Home Depot... since we don't carry cheaper brands like they do. If you buy something from Vann's, its gonna be quality, that's just How We Roll!

PS: You're now personally invited to the "By Invitation Only" Vann's pre-black friday sale. The deals there are gonna be as good or better than our actual Black Friday stuff. Come in and see me!! (Ask for Robert though, as there's another Rob in the store.)

Coffee bean vs. carbon molecule

Anyone have

a cell phone that's Cell One capable, accepts SIM cards and works... that they could let me borrow and/or buy super cheap?

Approved..

to do the VLOG! I should probably start a separate blogspot for this, though? I mean.. i have my rbedfordpro one, but that's relatively inactive now that my focus is changing to doing a great job at where I am.. (Vann's) This one is more of a personal venue, not that I use it overly much for that.. :-P

What would be an obvious and catchy name for a blog that's primary purpose is hosting my vanns vlog?

First day

of training is complete! These are going to be some long hours, lemme tell ya. Its about an 8 to 7 shift, 5 days a week. More starting soon when we switch to +half day on Sunday. I'm still excited about the job though. A lot. I like the idea of "helping" more than "selling." I'm hoping to do a couple of the 'instructional' things tomorrow and 'job shadow' a couple of the guys on the floor.

I have a ton of stuff to learn, and only a small part of it is the products / models / features... most of it involves the questions to ask, the paperwork/program we use, the garnering of clientele... and the list goes on. Remembering to tell about warranties, cables, power management... Wheee!!!! :)
