"It's the most wonderful time of the year! Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!" 2002-11-29 - 10:40 p.m.
Actually, work wasn't too bad today. Long, for sure, but not too bad. Mostly I just folded the same sweaters over and over and over again. But at least I didn't have to deal with the stupid people- I was just off in my own little sweater-folding world. The poor cashiers. I counted at least one crazy lady who angrily demanded to see a manager. If I had been behind the register, I may have cried. Or punched the customer. No, probably cried. I don't take yelling well. Anyway, I almost considered pulling down some of the towels from the shelves in the stockroom, building a cozy little nest on the floor, and taking a nap. But I'm a terrible slacker. I kept finding more sweaters to refold.
By the way, I was folding one particularly ugly table of sweaters when I told one of the other girls working the floor that those were "the ugliest sweaters in the history of sweaters." One old lady, who was circling the table with interest, walked away after I said that! Woops! Hehe. But hey, if I can prevent old ladies from making grievous fashion errors, that is a good thing, you know. Besides, that would have been one less return. Old ladies never seem to want to make use of the fitting rooms. I've yet to figure out why.
Anyway, so that was Black Friday. Some eeeeeevil little girl scouts decided to set up their cookie-selling table right outside the store. Cruel and unusual punishment, let me tell you. So a box of (illegal) caramel delites found its way behind the register for the poor cashiers to enjoy. But they didn't eat that many.... oh well. ;)
Somehow I feel my second wind coming on, but you know what, it had better blow back from whence it came(that sounds kinda dirty doesn't it?), because obviously, I have nothing to do. Waaa waaaa, but I'll spare you the whining tonight.
Besides, I'm going to get up early tomorrow to head over to campus for football. And nachos. Life presents an illusion of goodness sometimes.
