It’s been really crazy the last few days, with my start at CompUSA I’ve really struggled, as customer service is said to be top priority, but the function of the policies in the store make customer service very, very, very difficult simply because the way things are set up, the client must wait to get their product from the case as the managers are the only ones with the keys…
On a lighter note, the computer training is mega easy…
Hopefully I’ll get the hang of this soon, and perhaps get another job in addition.
In other news, I’ve been involved in two emergencies, two nights ago, I heard someone screaming and yelling “RAPE! RAPE!” out my window, I ran down stairs cell phone in hand, about to call 911, and the cops were already on it, and they were in custody of both the suspect and the woman being violated. It’s the first time that I’ve ever really known about the dangers of the alley behind my apt. I’ve seen people doing haroin, but that was months ago.
Today after work, I heard a large THUMP! and then screams of oh my god, and again (thank you cell phone) I was on 911 as an elderly asian woman was hit by a car, I went and helped her and had her sit on the curb, and waved down the police and they cleared the car to the side. The woman was visibly shaken up, and she had road rash on her hands…I’m thankful that I didn’t actually see the hit, as I’m sure it would be in my memory for a long time. Anyway, the police were there quickly, and it was strange, because I was on HOLD for 911…”all operators busy at this time” I hope that that doesn’t happen when cops aren’t just on the regular beat. Anyway as I left the woman thanked me, and I was glad to have helped. More than anything, I know that in large city situations (from psychology) noone will do anything, because they figure someone else will do it. I actually had to make the driver stay…she was going to leave…but I think everything worked out in the end.
I ran into a van about a week ago on my bike as he turned right infront of me…he didn’t even stop. I was shaken a bit, but not hurt…I think (hope) this woman was the same way, but when I walked her off the curb, she was shaking. Never a dull moment on Market!
