Every little thing

I am unhappy from time to time, this is one of those times. When it feels like theres just too many little things here and there and everywhere to stress me the heck out! I have yet to actually deal with any of them, so much my fault its pathetic, but you know when you have so much to do the mere though of it is overwhelming? I know you have been there!
I'm hungry, and with no notice my family is having friends over, not that my parents knew till an hour ago either. So looks like I'm not getting much done today either, oh goodness.
I'm going to explode! I really wish I could rewind and go back...omg 9 years...yea thats about when I got off track and I do not feel like I have yet to get back on course! That's crazy!
Well, time to try and get some work done and get ready for tonight, and then more work, and then more work to get done tomorrow! Hopefully it all gets done in time, no sleep for meeeee

T Minus 9 Days Till I Start @ Apple Yorkdale! Happy Anniversary Baby <3

So  it's getting closer and closer, day by day, hour by hour, and it is finally almost time to leave Apple Care, phone support, and start my new and exciting job as a GYO Specialist at the Apple Store in Yorkdale!!! 

• Specialist: “I can talk about this stuff for hours”     <------ my current role @ Apple
• Concierge: “I know people”
• Creative: “No pain, all gain”
• Genius: “Not all heroes wear capes”      <------- I will so be wearing this shirt in the next 6 months!!
• Manager: “My place. Your place”
• Back-of-house: “Some artists use brushes. I prefer boxes”

Really I could talk about this stuff for hours!!!

Just reading some other peoples blogs, I see the experience as  a Specialist like this.... ""Somehow I thought this was insanely funny, but printed on his shirt was, "I could talk about this stuff for hours." Really, I believe it. Not only hours, but passionate hours. """    This sounds Hilarious, sounds like my kind of approach on things

Today is also Katie and I's  9 month anniversary, so baby when you read this, I love you and happy anniversary!! I really hope you have a great day at work, and I will have a great day at work as well

Really damn frustrated. Feeling at a loss of what to do. There just doesn't seem to be enough time or enough of me or I don't even know, just not enough.
A lot of changes recently, and more and more to come.
Hope it turns out well.

Resignation

Hello All

 

Never really done this before, but I am giving my 2 weeks notice to VMC starting Yesterday.  It has almost been a year since I started working here, and have  saw many wonderful faces and smiles from every aspect of this workplace,  HR , Managers, Agents, QA, and Trainers.  I just want to thank you all for your help and support to help me out when I first hit the floor, and throughout the time I was employed here at VMC.

 

I would like to thank personally.....

 

Mark Brown, for all your hard work, bringing this floor to the top of the Apple Sites, keep it up =)

 

Stephanie Glancie for all your Team work efforts we did together building the lab, and creating those Documentation's for different issues, for this I thank you, and wish you great luck on your new position as a Team Manager for Portables.

 

Brian Mungul without you their would be no Mungul's Jungle,  Great work on keeping this floor stable when people were not around/on vacation, you really showed a superior role during that crisis.  You are a true closer shift person!

 

Colleen Garrity  for you and your amazing way to turn around peoples performance, keep it up, you sure  do deserve a pat on your back.

 

Avinash Kamath for all your hard work and dedication to all the agents, including myself to help position situations correctly to customers.  For that I thank you.

 

Stephen Spencer for a wonderful job of Managing the portables floor, Without you, I would have not had the opportunity to coach, train and learn the amount of knowledge I have learned.  Thank you

 

and Mostly, HR and the Recruiters at VOLT , without them looking at my resume, and seen me to be a suitable candidate for this job, I would not be going to where I am going in the future, for that I really thank you.

 

 

Thank you all for motivating me to pursue my career with Apple Computers.  I truly thank you

 

As you may know, I will not be moving to far,  I will be moving to the Apple Yorkdale store as a Mac Specialist GYO position, to become a Mac Genius in the next month or so **crosses fingers**.  This has me very excited.

 

I will not forget my time here at VMC, and hope to one day make a visit and see some of these familiar faces when I come back.

 

Take care all,

  

Keep Fit and Have fun - Body Break

Another Day in the Neighbourhood

 Tuesday -  August 26th 2008

 Counting down 2 weeks till it's time to start working with Apple Directly.  I recently got the job of been a Mac Specialist, that allows me to GYP (Grow Your Own) Genius, as the worker's at the store say.  

***APPLE JOB DESCRIPTION***

• You provide white-glove treatment to customers
• Your friends and family see you as an absolute technical guru
• You have some background in tech support or customer service
• You have a burning desire to solve problems 
• You can communicate technical concepts in layman’s terms 
• You have a sense of urgency—but also the ability to keep your cool
• You share a passion for technology and Apple products 

A position you’ll love:

• Solving problems—things happen and you’re there to fix them
• Providing frontline customer support at the Genius Bar, including hardware and software troubleshooting and diagnosis 
• Troubleshooting and repairing Apple hardware and software
• Juggling customer and product issues with a genuine sense of urgency
• Turning around repairs to customers as quickly as possible
• Being one of the go-to people for technical knowledge in the store

The ideal opportunity to use what you know:

A job at an Apple Retail Store is a chance to use your hands and heart. To use your knowledge and experience. To contribute meaningfully to people’s lives with your technical know-how.

To delight. Enrich. Impress. Engage. Inspire. 

So what's that mean in the long run, better work environment, more $$, better benefits, Apple Discount.  And also the opportunity to show my technical skills, and in a few months become a MAc Genius, then goto Cupertino, California, where I can write my Apple Certificates and  become fully certified.

This picture (Right) Is me and of my Girl, Katie,  isn't she so cute, she like's to jump on my back any possible chance she can, especially when the camera is out, or  when the sun is beautiful
