Working retail is so much fun. Especially when you have to "special order" things for people and then tell them that they've come into the store. Of course that means you run the risk of "ruining christmas."

This being the case you must try and foresee every possible outcome because the customer will not think of it. Not only do you have to make sure, SEVERAL TIMES that they give you a phone number to reach them at that is NOT a home number and will not be checked by nosey christmas-ruining relatives you also must make sure that the form of payment used will not be checked by co-sharers (not that that's a word...). So meantime, while you're running around like crazy and your mind is trying to ask you nicely to stop the customers still find a way to blame for anything that might go wrong.

Yes. It is indeed the "most wonderful time of the year." Maybe for a sociopath.

Despite all the craziness and hatred the stores still think that people will be inspired to shop or calmmed by the constant stream of Christmas music. *bangs head against door*

It's kinda funny. I sitll have a few things that need to be done but alas, by the time I'm home from work I'm drained by the ridiculousness of life around the holiday season. Woo hoo.

Okay, I'm done ranting for now.
