First Steps
Today, I took the first concrete steps toward opening a new game store. I arranged an appointment with a local real estate agent to look inside a property across the street, and I composed my membership application for GAMA. I'll send that in tomorrow. GAMA is the Game Manufacturer's Association, and they have a mentoring program specifically designed for people in my situation, who know what they want to do but are bewildered by the choices involved in getting there. I'll write a business plan, then secure funding: either my parents, or small business loans, if I feel confident enough about this. I'd like to get a retail job in the meantime...maybe at Stonestown, just for a few months of grinding to the next level.

You could always try Target. The one in San Bruno is hiring. But then you might hate Target forever.
Bath and Body Works at Stonestown usually seems to be hiring as well, but again, hate factor. Or, that was always my worry. Working for a place I like to shop at, but then hating it because of how I was treated working there. Most likely you're above that though.
Just my two cents.
Target doesn't seem like my style, but Bath and Body Works has potential. What's closer nowadays, Stonestown or Serramonte? Maybe I should go and just apply at some retail place. It'll be good for getting my hopes up - I mean, no matter how hard running a store is, it'll be more rewarding than X, right?
