Ok so,
First and foremost, the forumla for books to be translated to movies has caused me great annoyance due to the fact that the movie industry now beleives no original ideas can be sourced and they must refer to perfectly content novels for movies. I thought this would pretty much be the last nail in the coffin for the idea of kids reading books.
However! as I am steretypically writing this in a coffee shop a young kid reads a harry potter book across from me. Well i suppose all is not lost. And low and behold a couple is sitting, having a coffee and reading books... well i guess we can expect a literate australian public at least.
Now on to the retail industry which I have left. Having taken a break from a retail environment I am astonished how little jobs are on offer when the staff are so terrible. Two examples spring to mind:
The first of a mobile phone retailer, in which i tried a phone and after giving me the phone the employee began with.. i don't really know much about it, but you can play around with it. And it runs a new software called "Android". Now this is the HTC magic, and I being the tech junkie could entertain him for hours on it.. but decided to play a bit dumb. Funnily enough that was the extent of our conversation. Keep in mind this phone was a big deal for the network, given they were given exclusivity along with another network. I mean how can these people be employed, if they dont know about the product they are selling.
The second is a clothing store, where my girlfriend was looking for a dress. She was shocked at the impolite people who worked there. THey were not helpful at all, nor were they considerably nice to my better half. She felt like she was disturbing them having a chat. I came to ask a question of who i thought worked there, as they were talking to the staff for an hour or so, but she was not an employee, and my girlfriend, a prospective customer, was left to do everything herself. Not only that, when I asked if i could sit somewhere, she told me there was nowhere.. but i could sit on the windowsill, which was in a differnet section. Luckily we found a dress at the store "Sheike" who i can confidently say are great are treated us very well.
Now recently, being temporarily out of work, I have a prospective position with Apple, I have been surfing the web, checking out teh mobile phone spectrum of choices. I've decided to start a tech blog, but one that has videos and puts things into perspective. I mean I have gone to this countless websites.. which are very tech savy and I find very informative, but I want to make a source for everyone. One of the major things I want to emphasize is common sense in the mobile phone industry. For example, take the iPhone 3GS, fantastic piece of technology, however making something your ringtone if it isnt one of hte defaults could be alot easier. And this is something that alot of people like to change monthly or even weekly.
Anywho.. my speel has gone on for a while. So till next time. Just be awesome!
