Best Buy

A Flexible Work Day

A coworker sent me this article about Best Buy's ROWE (results only work environment). 

In summary employees come and go as they please.  They can work from wherever they want and whenever they want.  They are measured on their output vs. the number of hours they spend at work.

I think it's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure I'd do well.   I personally enjoy the social factor at work.  I also don't have hobbies and such that keep me from being in the office... you can't arrange flowers while working no matter where you're working from.

Best Buy Black Friday Lines

Westinghouse 22Well today is black friday and earlier in the week I saw the black friday ads on bfads.net. Since my birthday was this month and I asked for money for a monitor I felt that a deal from Best Buy was great.

A " Westinghouse 22" Widescreen Flat-Panel TFT-LCD Monitor" for $199.99. Therefore, this morning my father and I got up at 4:00 am and went to best buy. We got there by 4:30 and the line was about 500 people long. It got even longer by 5:00 though It was probably about 750-800 then.
