Welcome to Far-Mart
Comments (37)I'm also glad that you found a job that you love and that is close to where you live. I don't shop at Walmart either, partly because I do not like big box stores, although I do shop at Home Depot. Another reason is that there is not a Walmart close to me, as the real estate in Western Los Angeles (where I live) is too expensive for Walmart. I never saw a Walmart in San Francisco either, and I think WM avoids the areas where I like to live and shop. I don't like shopping at Target either, but there are a couple of Targets close to me, and so I will go there on occasion. The Target stores smell like cheap plastic or formaldehyde and that is another reason I do not like to shop there. When I do shop, I like to go the trendy streets like Melrose in Hollywood, Third Street Promendate in Santa Monica, or Santa Monica Blvd in WeHo, but I tend to avoid Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills because that's still above my budget and the clerks there are irritating to deal with. I don't like closed shopping malls, but Century City is nice because it is open air. Still, I am thrilled that you are happy, and I do not think you should feel any stigma attached to working at Walmart. In this economy, it is great to have a job where you can be happy.

Comments (10)oh yes you can do all the same email functions you can on your pc, it does use that smaller virtual keyboard but it is larger than a smartphone keyboard. It took me about 2 mins to get my hotmail set up on it and the gmail was even quicker. Plus should you choose to use an app there are a LOT of email apps. I use one called better hotmail on my smartphone. But I just use what came with this tablet. I can come and post here from it too. Same things I do at my pc basically. I really am on my desktop much much less these days because I have this tablet sitting on my table beside my recliner! this one does not come with a case but there are a lot of the sleeve cases that will fit it for pretty cheap. It does do horizontal and vertical views. It has a very responsive touch screen mine takes just taps, it is not quite as responsive as my HTC smartphone but for me it is just right the one on my phone sometimes gets away from me LOL. Janie I don't understand why the kindle app is not wanting to install, I would try uninstalling it from the unit and going to get the app from a different app store. I know the amazon app store has it so that would be a good place to go. When you go to the amazon app store you may have to install their little app installer but then you can just tap on the amazon store icon on your device and go right to the store and download your apps right straight to it. If you have not tried the Aldiko reader app I highly recommend it. Tami it may not come with any email associated with it, I would think they would clear that out before selling it if it is a used one. With my sylvania tablet it did have to do an update as soon as it was charged up and I connected to wifi so my guess is this one would have to do that also, Always a good idea to immediately check for any updates anyway and always do that with it plugged into power! Just in case the battery decides to go dead in the middle of an install (not good)...See MoreReport from ole joyful ... the CBC addict

Comments (60)Glad your eyes are all good and no serious issues. To be honest I don't see the implementation of the system as anything degrading to you or your colleague who also got put on it or anything saying you got lumped in the same bucket as that with no other responsibilities. Rather I see the reason for it as you both have people that come to see you so you got added as part of the sign-in system and that is what you have in common with the other advisors. It is only to make sure that students have continuity and same method for all points of contacts. Doubt it has anything to do with your actual position. Just that they want one system for all students to use so there is no ambiguity of what to do in either case. It is unfortunate that there was really poor communication. I do think I would bring up or file an enhancement request to the system (if you have a web based IT form) to request that they update the pinging to not happen to all people as it can be quite disturbing - not only when working on other things, but while advising the students as well. Since the amount of time spent with students varies based on the advisor type this can cause several interruptions to you and your co-worker, but maybe not as much with the other advisors. I'd phrase it in a helpful way and work on solving the only problem I really see with the system. As for students just dropping in, just say - "would you mind signing in and we'll have a chat. They've implemented a new system and although my door is always open having you sign in would be greatly appreciated"...See Moreazinoh
