Work Tales - problems, problems & more problems...everyday. Pricing error, negative margin, supplier code not recognize in the system, non-deliveries, late deliveries, store team complaint regarding supplier's promoters, movement of consignment counters, D33 & D34 selling floor is being optimized & compacted to the max, store revamping, fasting month is approaching, monthly fees, unfinished 2010 nego tool & contract, sales progress, stock days & stock value...these interferences...makes me wish...I wish...I wish I have taken up Rodrigo & Atticus's offer...put this shit behind me...and open a new chapter. Here, it lacked some direction, purpose & motivation. Sigh. But then again, as long as I am in retail - everywhere is the same. No one's life is smooth sailing. We are all on the same bumpy ride.
Followed Patrick & Celtic to visit our Mid Valley store today. We even manage to catch "The Karate Kid" movie. It's not Karate; it's Kung-Fu. The movie hardly representing a breakthrough in cinematic accomplishment (or a narrative or emotional triumph over the original), it did what Hollywood does best; produce a competent entertainment that offers few surprises but succeeds completely as a crowd pleaser. And yes, Jackie Chan should play more mature-mentoring characters from now on. He is too old to play the hero. As for the young Jaden Smith, he has a rare combination of intelligence, wit and humanity. If groomed well, he will end up good like his parents; not like the other child actors who lost their way.
