This page is dedicated to all of my friends...my closest friends, some of the people that I work with and some of the wonderful people that I have met on the internet! Just to clarify this ahead of time...the main thing that separates my friends from the Circuit City Crew is the fact that I don't or haven't spent much, if any, time with the CCC people away from work. I put everybody in alphabetical order because all of my friends hold special places in my life! By the way, I DO realize that the majority of my friends are female and I do NOT find anything wrong with this. I tend to get along with females much better than with males. I think that it is because I'm not into all of the machoism stuff that most males are. Oh well, I enjoy having an abundance of female friends...and yes, it IS possible to be JUST FRIENDS with members of the opposite sex!!!



MY FRIENDS:


Amanda K.: Amanda is one of Geneva's younger sisters. She is another wonderful person that helps keep others smiling. Now that she is working at Circuit City I pretty much always have either her or her sister to pick on! :) Her and I somehow got the wonderful job of being in charge of the music and movie department. We are so lucky!!! LOL

Angel: I can say, just as you hopefully would, that my first impression of you was WAY off. I'd say that we've actually gotten to know each other pretty good. We don't talk quite as much now that you moved, but we both seem to keep pretty busy. Take care and stay out of trouble. :)

Brian: Brian and I became friends when I became a "Merchanhouser" at Circuit City. We both have a way of driving each other, and everybody around us, crazy. LOL When somebody makes both of us mad...that usually means trouble.

Carrie: What can I say about you Carrie. We've been chatting online seemingly forever at this point and we actually did finally meet...can you believe that? I can't believe that we've been chatting as long as we have. I guess that insomniacs have to stick together though, right? LOL I don't know about you, but I need to learn how to sleep from time to time. No offense, but my body won't like this for too much longer. LOL

Cecile: A great friend and Shawn's wife. I miss her, Shawn and Manon so much right now. I've been trying really hard to get my life in order and that has caused me to seclude myself...There was a time that I was ALWAYS with them and now I barely even talk to them. It is my own fault though and something that I plan on changing very soon.

Chantelle: Chantelle is definitely a unique person...that is a VERY GOOD thing, so don't worry about it! :) I'm glad that her and I have become friends. I attempt to give her good advice when given the opportunity, I just hope that it helps sometimes. I hope that her and I manage to keep in touch through the years and I wish her and her boyfriend nothing but the best. :) By the way, do NOT tell anybody my middle name!!! LOL :P

Chris C.: I'm not sure what to say about Chris. He is definitely one of a kind. I'm glad that we have become friends and I hope that we remain friends for the years to come. Thanks for the help in the warehouse and the occasional times of listening to my problems. Oh yeah, don't forget...NO POWDERED DONUTS!!!!!!! And no pulling me over either!!! Take care.

Chris F.: The typical quiet genius. Well, maybe not quite so quiet anymore. The rest of us at Circuit City have managed to slowly corrupt him...that or he was already corrupt and is just finally letting it out. :) Even though he is one of "Them" now, he is still one of the best workers that Circuit City has seen. Take care Chris. :)

Emily: Emily is one of the sweetest and kindest people ever to work for Circuit City. She is a bit silly, but that is a good thing. By the way, don't worry Emily...I won't tell anybody about the Mexican Pizza and bubble bath ritual of yours. LOL Take care of yourself Emily...we already miss you at work. Keep in touch!!! :)

Geneva: Hmmmmm...not even sure what to say except that I'm very glad that I met you and I hope that this friendship never ends. You are definitely one of a kind. What in the world would they do without us at Circuit City??? They would be bored and Chris would NEVER be able to leave the front counter...he'd have to set up a cot and stay 24 hours a day. LOL By the way, I still think that you should have taken Ron's...yes, I said RON's, advice. LOL Take care of yourself! :)

Heather: She is definitely a very important person in my life. We got to know each other really well in a fairly short amount of time and became great friends. She has been there for me alot and hopefully always will be. Her path in life has taken her so many miles away that it seems as though she is in a completely different world. She is and ALWAYS will be special to me. Heather...I love you and I hope that we never lose touch. By the way...I FINALLY got the monkey. :) Take care of yourself and don't forget about me during your travels around the world!

Hemerson: What can I say? As time goes by many people's lives drift apart. Unfortunately this is true with Hemerson and I, but he was there to help me through some rough times and maybe our paths will cross again.

Hollie: A very fun person to talk to and spend time with. Probably one of the few people that loves kids as much as I do and doesn't flip out because I occasionally act like one. :) I'm so glad that you got the job offer that you wanted but I do miss you being at Circuit City. Take care of yourself, have fun in life and ALWAYS SMILE!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

Jon: A very interesting person. Definitely one of the coolest managers and people overall that I've met. One thing that I like about Jon is that he and I are alike...we both believe in mind over matter and have an uncanny ability to block out pain. We also love to do things just for shock value...shock value for us and for others. Getting reactions is great!!! :) Take care of yourself Jon and don't change for anybody!!!

Lori: A good friend that moved to Connecticut...She is now married with children, YIKES. Better her than me, at least for the time being. I really miss being able to talk to her about things going on in life. She might be a pain in the butt at times...but then again, I'm the biggest pain in the butt of all so I deserve it. Take care and stay in touch.

Manon: Shawn and Cecile's beautiful daughter and somebody that I hope to be a positive influence for throughout life. I've drifted away from them much more than I ever wanted to or planned to but hopefully not too far. My life seems to be slowly getting back on track so that I'm not messing everybody else's up. Maybe I can still be that positive influence that I would like to be.

Marge A.: Kind of my adopted mom. :) She worries about me more than I do. It is really nice to have that though. She is ALWAYS getting onto me and making sure that I'm taking care of myself. It gets kinda funny at times actually. I guess that somebody has to TRY keeping me in line though because I'm usually too worried about other things to even think about myself. I love you and thank you for EVERYTHING!!! Maybe someday I'll find a way to repay you, I doubt it but I'm going to try.

Marge M.: She started off as my manager at one of my past jobs and then we became pretty close. She actually seemed to understand some of the things that I was going through and realized that I was harder on myself than anybody else ever could be. I just want her to know that I sometimes get so depressed that I hide away from the world and it is nothing personal. I'll come back out of my shell at some point. Love ya always! :)

Mike: Mike, you are a complete nutcase. However, you are a great friend and you keep me positive. After all, I see you and realize that my life could be much worse...JUST KIDDING!!! You, being Mr. Graphics Designer, need to come up with a super logo that will become known worldwide because we are going to MAKE this business take off. We just have to work out some kinks and we are on our way. Anyway, thanks for being there and keep thinking of a logo...

Nina: Basically the little sister that I never had. I keep trying to be a positive influence and a good role model for her. I don't seem to be doing as good a job as I would like...but I'm gonna keep trying!!! Nina, I just want you to know that I'll ALWAYS be here if you need me. Even if I do move away, a phonecall can cause miracles to happen. Don't forget that! Thanks for always trying to cheer me up, sometimes it seems like you are the adult here. Even though you are spoiled (don't deny it) and you act your age at times, I know that you are responsible and much more mature than most at this point in life. Just be careful, you're working on becoming the female version of your dad...we both know that he is a great guy, but I don't think the world could handle two of him. LOL Love ya and take care.

Paula: There was a time that we hadn't talked for several months, maybe even more than a year. I called her up one night needing to talk and she met me outside a few minutes later. That pretty much tells the story about Paula. I, and all of her other friends, can always count on her being there. Eternal thanks Paula. By the way, when do I get to take the Mustang for a test drive??? :) Okay, I know it will never happen but I had to ask. LOL

Russ: Russ is my mom's boyfriend and has become a good friend of mine. I'm so glad that he has decided to turn his life around. I'm wishing for nothing but the best for him and my mom. Hopefully they can help each other through everything. If you ever need any customizing done to your vehicle he is the man to see!!!

Russell: Hard to keep in touch with but still a great friend. All of those nights of craziness that our little group had. Trips to Dunkin' Donuts and parks and basketball courts. We caused more chaos than anybody will ever know about. Take care of yourself and keep in touch when possible.

Shawn: A wonderful friend and somewhat of a father figure...I have learned a great deal because of him! Between him and Cecile I always had somebody there to talk to and help me through everything. They were there when I needed food, sleep, laughter, a listening ear and even a car!!! Hopefully my drifting and wandering days will soon be over and I'll come around more. I will someday explain the past couple of years to everybody that was there before everything went crazy. Thanks for everything and if you need anything I'll always do my best to help!!!

Scott: At Circuit City he was the first person that actually decided to talk to me and get to know me. I've learned that there are many great people but only a handful that you can definitely count on. He is one of those people...you can count on him for just about anything. He is more of a jokester than some people realize but he keeps things interesting. I hope that he and I stay in touch for years to come...take care Scott. Oh yeah...you gotta come back and visit when you finally get your pilot's license!!!!!! :)

Tiffany: Definitely one of the sweetest people that I've met. She seemed so quiet when I first met her and she wouldn't complain about anything. I think that she finally realized that just staying quiet and letting things happen won't accomplish much. She doesn't complain but she is now willing to say exactly what is on her mind. Tiff, NEVER let the rumors get to you...they are only rumors. My best wishes to you and Chris. Take care of yourself!

Thanin: Another great friend that is always there for me...The ABSOLUTE MOST PATIENT person that I have ever met. He helped me through some very rough times and actually was a major factor in causing me to realize some things in life. He is another part of the reason that I've decided to try to get my head back, focus on life and hide from the world for a couple of years. I'm sure that when we get back to talking like we once did he will completely understand and maybe even be proud of me for it. Thanks for everything Thanin...I owe you!!!

Walter: Walter has basically decided to adopt me. We met each other through a past job and both have moved up to better jobs. He has taught me a great deal and hopefully he has learned a few things from me. Either way, he has been there for me and his family has done more for me than I ever would have expected. Thank you for everything!!!! By the way, don't try being He-Man like me, you might hurt yourself. LOL I love you and appreciate all that you've done.



CIRCUIT CITY CREW:


Amanda N.: Well, I moved out to her department part time so I was lucky enough to learn a little bit more about her. But, after I moved out to her department, she switched departments to get away from me. I feel so unwanted now...just teasing. She isn't quite what I expected, that isn't a bad thing though. She is very fun to talk to though. I enjoy working with her most of the time...even if she does turn green when she gets mad. LOL

Bob: I mostly talk to Bob at work but he has taught me quite a bit about the job that I currently do and about life in general. Even with his lifetime of experience he is still willing to try something new and learn new things about the job. His ideas are usually still better than mine, but I throw in a good one here and there.

Brad: Brad is a manager at Circuit City. Easily one of the coolest managers and people that I've known. He is also pretty good at basketball...he is the better half of our team (which happens to be the Circuit City champions at the moment). I can't wait until the next tournament when we show them how it is done once again. Loud music, lots of basketball and complete craziness...stay in touch no matter what Brad!

Charles: Hmmmmmm...not sure what to say about Charles. The first impression of him is that he is a quiet person that would never want to bother anybody. Well, don't let looks fool you. But, he is a hard worker and it is fun working with him. It keeps the job interesting. :)

Christian: Christian is so fun to work with. The never ending wit and humor keeps work very interesting at times. It definitely helps to make the day go by faster. I hope that he works as long as I'm there...it will definitely help keep my work environment less stressful

Deana: One of the many goofy people that I talk to at work. She is a wonderful person that is often way too tough on herself. A little more confidence would do her wonders. :) I'm not really sure what else to say about her other than the fact that her and Megan seem to be joined at the hip at times. That is cool though...we should all have a friend like that. :)

Ed: I don't know what to say about Ed. He is a very hard worker and we have very similar work ethics. We both feel that if you are going to have a job, even if it is one hour a week, then you are there to work and not sit on your hands. Ed is an all-around great person. He would do pretty much anything for anybody...so would his wife Marie (see below) for that matter. He is ALWAYS trying to help me out and push me up the "ladder" and into management of some sort at Circuit City. I know it is a good idea, just not sure what I want at Circuit City these days. I have a feeling that Ed is going to keep pushing me until I decide though. :)

Erik: To be totally honest, I didn't like Erik when he first started with us. However, I've gotten used to him and learned to actually like him as a person. He probably didn't like me when he first started either though. Just another example that you should get to know people before making judgments about them.

Jake: Jake is the biggest guy in the store and the assistant store director. I'm actually very proud of Jake. He seems to be getting comfortable with his job these days and he has a sincere desire to help his employees as well as getting the store to run smoothly. The only catch is that it is much more difficult to make a plan work than it is to come up with the plan. Best of luck in work and life Jake!

Janet: Another manager at The City. She has come to fit in well at our wonderful little Port Charlotte store. Another part of the team of fun-loving and goofy people that somehow gathered at this little location in the world. Oh yeah, and she is often the provider of some very wonderful lunches for myself...like steak from Outback!!!!!!!! Mmmmmmm...I suddenly want to go cook something to eat. LOL

Kathy: Yet another Circuit City employee...what can I say, I practically live there. Kathy is the quiet leader of merchandising. It doesn't matter what anybody else says, everybody knows that she is the boss. She even tends to dispute that from time to time but we try really hard to keep reminding her. :) She seems a little bit quiet and shy until you get to know her. Then she is a very enjoyable and fun person to be around. :) I'm still trying to figure out just how she plans on getting homework and studying done on the beach though???

Lisa: Lisa and I just recently started talking quite a bit more. One of the few people at work that has a REAL source of stress in her life. The one good thing is that she can get rid of that stress at pretty much any moment if she would just stop being so nice. It sucks to be mean...but sometimes you just have to be! I'm here anytime if you need to talk Lisa...sooooo, keep smiling!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Marie: Marie is easily one of the sweetest, kindest and most caring people in the world. The really cool thing is that her and Ed are married...they make such an incredible couple that it is unreal. If the two of them can't cheer you up, there probably isn't a person on this planet that can. She even brings in cookies for the whole store every week or so. :) Thanks Marie.

Megan: I'm at a loss for words with this one. Megan is a very unique individual. She is somewhat difficult to read. She can be the sweet and innocent girl next door or she can be the wild woman that surprises you every other second. Well, that is what I gather from work anyway. I really don't get to talk to her away from work. At work though she usually keeps people laughing and she has a very hard time staying AWAY from Roadshop. She is fun to be around though and keeps life at work interesting. :) By the way Megan, if you have anymore friends like that...PLEASE introduce me!?!?!?! LOL ;)

Paul: Paul would happen to be the big shot at our store. Actually, he seems like a pretty big guy until Jake stands next to him...that is always a funny sight. With the two of them as our managers though, rowdy customers usually quiet down and cooperate very quickly though. With some of the talks that I've had with Paul, I'm somewhat surprised that I still have a job. I guess that he, like Jake, realizes that I'm passionate about my job and my life in general. Sometimes I say things that I shouldn't, but...at least you always know that it is exactly how I feel and I don't sugercoat anything! Thanks for your help Paul! By the way, I still think that you looked just like King Koopa on the go-carts...you were just missing the spikes. LOL

Ron: Ron is another person that I work with. We only talk at work but it gets quite interesting at times. He made me realize that there is something I was actually right about...You CAN speak your mind which really can upset people at times...but you can STILL care about the people around you. He tries really hard to be a pain in the butt to everybody but a few of us know the truth about him. Don't tell anybody, but he can really be a nice guy. :)

Tom: Well, Tom and I don't exactly hang out or talk a whole lot. He is basically my boss at work. Tom is one of the greatest people that could possibly be in charge. His experience and leadership have helped me and others grow up...even though it might not seem like it. With his leadership we will definitely remain the #1 Circuit City warehouse and also have the most fun of any warehouse around!!! Don't let the phones and computers get to you too much...that is what hammers were made for! :) Take care and thanks for the encouragement when I get down on myself.



INTERNET FRIENDS:


April: Just a very fun person to chat with that has an Ebay addiction. LOL April is a wonderful person though and has a way of keeping life online interesting. Take care of yourself April. :)

Brittany: Hmmmm...what can I say. I haven't been chatting with you very long but we just seemed to click. I really enjoy chatting with you and hope that you manage to survive crazy life at a University! LOL Keep in touch!

Jackie: Such an odd situation...we live probably less than 10 miles apart and chat online pretty much daily but we still haven't met. I really hope that we get to meet eventually. Either way, I enjoy chatting with her and consider her to be a wonderful friend.

Jammie: Jammie is a cool person to chat with...but she is barely ever online. That, or she just stays invisible and then sends messages as soon as I'm offline. LOL

Jessica: Another one of my online friends that I wish I could chat with more often. She is one of the few people that seems to let things get to them as much as I do. Maybe that is part of the reason that we get along so well. Take it easy and try not to get stressed out! :)

Leslie: A brilliant person that is VERY understanding...Words just cannot describe her!!! I could write pages and pages about her but I'll refrain. I can't believe everything that we have been through...at least we have been and continue to be here for each other. She always manages to find a way to make me smile...hopefully I do a good job at returning the gesture! I must admit, I cannot put into words what she means to me. It is a very odd situation that I'm not going to go into unless she says it is okay. Who knows, maybe I will put up a page dedicated to just her. It wouldn't be a problem for me to put together, I just like to ask before doing such things. I love you Leslie...no matter what happens throughout our lives. You mean more to me than you know and you always will...take care of yourself and the little guy!!!!!! If you ever want or need anything, just let me know! *TIGHT HUG*


I just want to say that everybody mentioned on this page is already a huge part of my life or they are giving me reason to believe that they will be. I want to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be part of your life and I wish all of you the best and hope that we never lose touch with each other. Take care of yourselves and don't change for anybody.
