Nightmare at work

Well today was a nightmare at work! I've never been so busy!

Let me explain what I do.

I work as a demonstrator for a global music company, and I travel the UK with a mobile concession stand filled with digital pianos, digital drum kits, arranger keyboards ect. Well today it was VERY busy, I had lots and lots of interest in the products (especially the drum kits) and I collected lots of peoples details.
However, as I was talking to people, I was noticing that the headphones were all slowly being unplugged, and the volume sliders were slowly being pushed up until the noise levels were so loud customers were complaining!

So I kept having to run around turning them all down, or asking people to "put on headphones for a better stereo experience..."

When It finally came to 6pm and time for me to leave, I couldn't! I had to stay and do a load of paperwork, which I only managed to half complete before I was kicked out as they were locking up. So tomorrow morning Im going to have to go in early (ON A SUNDAY AS WELL!) and finish off this paperwork.

Argh the stress of a busy day! On a normal day it's quite quiet and relaxing as I spend all day playing the pianos!

Ah well.

  4. 1- lock volume sliders
    2- lock headphones to instruments
    (you mgith have to isolate the amps or conectors/controls in a box or smomthing)
    3- put up signs "please use headphones at all times" everywhere
    4-get some kind of breaker control over the lines that feed the amps, and just shut them down and kindly ask customers "please use headphones thank you"

    i hope you can apply this and yes paper work sucks =( you shoudl try taking home some.. do it int he bathroom or smth XD

  8. Well... at least you have a job, that's good. Many people are out there stressing out about finding one, think about that, and how much more it would suck.

  9. I feel your pain, this surely is a stressful job. Not only you're working in sales which is a great pressure itself, but you're also responsible for quite expensive products, not to mention the kind of demanding customers you're dealing with.
