Energy sword

Working at Target today, back in electronics as many of you likely know by now.

Microsoft rep came by to change out something on the controller harness on our 360 display. Added a few pages to our Product Reference Guide binder, showed me the pages...

Him - "... and this is some game called Halo 4, I don't know if you've ever heard of it."

Me - "I've been waiting so long for it."

He starts pulling something out of his briefcase-

"Do you know what this is?"

I think it's a key (a really, REALLY weird plastic one, at that) at first, so I say "No... wait, yeah, that's an energy sword!"

"You win, here ya go."



Now the proud owner of a Halo Energy Sword pen. That pretty much made my day.

Completely off topic, but how's working at target? I work at walmart and i'd like to see how the competition is. Not that I like walmart or anything, i actually hate it, i'm just curious

At my store it's not great. I like the people I work with, but management would be better replaced with half-trained chimps. I've heard from talking to the guys who have been there that it was great back before some of the managers we have now came in to replace other ones. I've also heard other stores being ran much better than mine.

Sure sounds a lot like my store. Except it's just our general manager and the store owner driving it into the ground. Pretty much every other employee is awesome.

Same here, most small-time associates are cool but the managers are just so out of touch and stupid it makes for a not very enjoyable job

What kind of sick son of a bitch would rate this 1 star...


Fucking awesome man, I wonder if its a pre-order bonus?

I'm curious about what the intended distribution method for this pen was too. At any rate, nice!

Maybe it wasn't intended to be distributed.

I'm thinking that the "intended distribution method" was just for Microsoft reps to give to store (electronics) employees when they come change out stuff on the displays or reference materials leading up to the Halo 4 release. I'm not thinking it's gonna go publicly distributed, it's just a cheap plastic pen in a clear bag that says CHINA on it.

It's still neat as hell XD I just forget where I put it in my room

    I was looking at steaks other day at grocery, can't believe some cuts (angus) are like $25 a pound. Crazyness. Price of good fish is just as bad.
