Retail hell
I'm officially hunkering down for christmas as from now. The past few days have been manic - all last minute this and that and driving around. All worthwhile things, but I have a cold and I desperately need to chill at this point.
Sandwiching all this activity around working in the retail day from hell didn't help. Not content with dealing with Xmas, Wyeohwyevale has us setting up for the sales, and working monday was like moving among a horde of consumer locusts, complete with annoying whine of locusty little angst. Not enough stuff, too much stuff, not enough sales. There were loads of christmas trees this time last year - why not now? Or why not get in your sodding time machine and shop last year and leave me teh fuck alone, eh?
Highlight of the day though was convincing a cute German guy (or maybe Czech) to commit horticultural felony. There were only two shabby looking trees left when he came in, so we came up with the plan of tree-theft. Off he went to buy a saw. A couple of hours later, he came back to buy a stand and some sap-sealant :) He said the adrenaline rush was the best thing of the year. I feel proud to have delivered that little anti-capitalist birth into the world :)
Seriously time for Wonderful Life and too much alcohol :)
