That's where I'm lucky. I'm a pharmacy tech. Sweet, simple, to the point. Although some of my friends and family like to refer to me as a "pill pusher" or a "drug dealer".

That's what I loved about the new store manager who started at my old GameStore (still there too) -- he sat us all down first day, he said that he wanted to know our areas of game expertise -- coming from a sports store background, his was limited to sports games -- so he would KNOW who to point to when a specific game question came up.
