My job at radio shack is fairly interesting, except my girlfriend thinks she is the best thing in the world next to sliced bread. I'm sure I'd be more happy for her if she worked in a store that didn't get as much traffic in one hour, as we do in 3 days.

I get an average of 400-700$ a day in sales for 5.5 hours, thats not to bad considering I never get approached with somebody who wants a TV, they usualy had just bought a new TV/VCR/DVD player, and now want cables, Or batteries for their cables, Or cables for their batteries. Exciting world.

I like my job, however, I do believe they are not going to keep me. As I've said, I don't do enough sales. Which is sad, but I do have some full time hours coming up, so I guess we'll see.

Well
I totally forgot about calling radio shack today, and apparently I got the job!
I called at 4:22pm, talked to Dar, she told me that the DM was in, and said something afterwards, I was so shocked I didn't even hear it (well I did but it didn't register).

She told me to come in today or tomorrow to fill out some paper work, (Just like my baby! who also got a job at the square one). So I'm going after chris eats.

I hope they have some clue that Kris is my girlfriend, I probably won't be able to work the square.

Even worse, I have to walk in her shoes!
She's the best saleswomen!

I applied at RadioShack today (intertan), and I'm left wondering if I will get hired part time. The interview seamed to go well, except when I had to do an on-line test.

They asked the usual questions like "Would you steal" "what would you do if you got caught stealing", etc, etc. And there was even some math questions (I had to resist the urge to alt+esc+r calc to do the math.. I only used it to check the results of one question!), and the ever famous "How many days of school do you miss."

I don't like how they ask you if you've been absent from school for no reason, etc. I don't consider school like work, I never skip out of work, if I'm scheduled to work, I will be there. If I goto school every day, and don't feel good one day, I can make it up the next by jumping ahead and doing extra work. I don't get paid for going to school (not even by knowledge, I don't learn at school)

It's an odd situation, almost done school. I have 2 months left (end of january) and I just need these 3 credits.

Let's see what happens.

I road home from my girlfriends house on a bike without a tube.
earlier we got into a small argument on super conductors, heat and cold, and which goes faster.
I said:

"well my batteries died on the way over to your house, but after they cool down they'll be more responsive and I'll get another half hour out of them."

she concluded that:

"it doesn't make sense,"
"sure it does, just like keeping computers circuits/silicon cold, they use gold and cool it to run really fast"
"metal with higher temperatures conduct far better than cold ones."

--

So after we got home, she persisted to aj.com and tried to find the answer. I then went on google and got a document about super conductors (IBM researchers), and she concluded she was right. (said metals operate at better temperaturs at 16K below absolute zero.)

I just went over a book that I recently read a week ago (Great book, read it in a night, just couldn't put it down)

The Science of the X-Men, Link Yaco, p203 "Super-computers, incidentally, use liquid helium, which is more easily compressible, to super-cool their gold-plated circuits. When gold is cooled enough, it becomes a super-conductor, which might be iceman's state to some extent. Keep that in mind as we get some later ideas."

I guess I'm right to an extent.
well, that's gold.... gold is one of the elements that has sort of strange tendancies I guess....

She has more schooling than me, I trust her, I don't however, trust her at the same time. Wonder who's right?
