My son’s first job was with a place in Tustin called “Video Giant.” With his love for movies, it was a dream job. Then he got an offer to work in the video department at Tower Records and left Video Giant. Two months later, Video Giant went bankrupt.
After a couple of years, Tower fired him because of what they perceived as a security violation. Anybody been to Tower Records lately?
He then went to work for Wizards of the Coast, a computer gaming company that even sent him to the Seattle area for management training. He was an assistant manager at the store in the Beverly Center, when he decided he didn’t like retail and resigned. A few months later Wizards of the Coast went belly up.
He then went to work for a subprime lender at the height of the real estate market. I fear he may be personally responsible for the crash!! First Ameriquest, then Argent Mortgage. He was recently laid off by Citicorp. In my post of February 20, I made the statement “Citibank is in trouble!” This morning’s news chronicles that trouble, which is the reason for the latest slide in the Dow.
It’s obvious, isn’t it? Though he doesn’t have bankruptcy, he’s a carrier!!
So, my advice to his next employer: If you know what’s good for you, keep him happy!

Hey, I liked Wizards of the Coast......
ReplyDeleteI liked it, too. When he was at the Beverley Center, Drew Carey used to come in and play Risk with them.
ReplyDeleteHe never actually played with us. He came in and bought about $300 worth of Risk and Risk knock offs, and he was asking our opinions of each along the way. It was a slow day, so we had the time to devote our full attention to him.
ReplyDeleteI taught Wayne Brady how to play Pokemon, but that was at the Mission Viejo store.
