Semi End to Tech Work

So I just got the news the other day that the sort of end has come to my tech work. Not because I do bad work, oddly enough because I'm too good at dealing with customers.
Where I work, we are teamed up with a small retail store (not big box store, though I have worked for that squad before). Due to budget cuts all around, I am getting shuffled over to there.

I will retain my title but will be doing more sales. Which is a good thing. Because the monkeys they have working there at the moment have really given the place a bad reputation. They are a bunch of Apple Zealots. Now I personally use an Apple at home and grew up using them. Love them. But I know they are not for everyone. Some people prefer Windows and that's great. But those monkey's don't see it that way. I have seen a customer walk in, say they would like to get a Window's based machine and they all walk away and ignore them. Or try to force...I mean "talk" them into getting an Apple. Sigh You sell what your customer wants and needs. Not what you want them to buy.

I'm rather sad to be leaving the shop. It's a lot of fun here and a great team environment. Couldn't have asked for a better boss. He leaves you alone, unless you screw up. If you want or need time off, was never a hassle to take off. I'll miss the random screw driver or vinyl tools being hurled into my cube. Or the cabinet being shoved in front of the door way, forcing me to crawl out under the raised flooring, or just take the chance to cat nap.

Hopefully I can do some good over there, for both the store and shop. I just hope this isn't some form of punishment or demotion. That would suck.
