I work at the Apple Store which I love, even if I'm stuck in training for the time being. One of the gentlemen who works in our store is quite possible the coolest person I have ever met; his name is David (for anonymity for both him and myself and to avoid butchering his last name which I have only heard it is redacted). Aside from referencing Battlestar Galactica a lot which is killer, he quoted The Princess Bride a movie which is sadly ignored recently. But seriously, anyone who uses the word 'frak' at work gets major points in my book; further he is incredibly articulate which is nice considering the literacy of the average contemporary American hangs somewhere between 'c u b4 u c me' and People magazine. Hopefully I'll get to work with him a lot.
I'm becoming afraid this store will eat my life not in a negative way but that I'll like it so much I won't (ever) leave. Mr. and Dr. is unacceptable... on the other hand they have killer benefits and really nice salaries a bit up the food chain (e.g. ASM). I have been ordered by the girlfriend that I can't drop out so I'm at the grindstone for another 11 months at the very least but I can't really see myself not seeing my Ph.D through unless I don't make it into a school (in the area, but that is a whole different kettle of fish and ultimately an open question).
