Merry Freakin Christmas

     I bought a card for a friend the other day. It had a picture of a cat wearing antlers on the front with a very pissed look in its eyes, on the inside it said, "Merry Freakin Christmas" I can not stop hearing that in my head. It was just to funny, I suppose you have to know my friend to appreciate it the way I did, but it really was very funny.
      I know, I haven't been around, life has just been to much to deal with lately and I figured why bore everyone with details. Me, the Christmas Queen, has not been able to see my way to the Christmas spirit this year. I have totes upon totes in my closet of Christmas stuff and the only thing I managed to do was get a tree and decorate it, and that is only because of the kids. I just have no passion for it this year, and it really kinda sucks. I mean I suppose with all the death and problems I have had to deal with in the past 6 months it makes sense, but I really hate it. I WANT to feel Christmasy, but I just don't
     For those of you who work in retail this time of year, God bless you all. I work for CVS and man oh man are people insane this time of year. Why is it MY fault that the COMPANY makes shitty signs that don't explain the prices correctly? If I were the one writing the signs do you really think I would be here behind the register getting belittled by you, common Joe because you choose NOT to read the oh so confusing sign? I mean come on, do you really think that I personally am out to get you? Do I have nothing better to do than to try to find ways to make MY job harder? Give me a break people, if you are spending $500 on random candy and crap that no one wants or needs, do I really need to explain to you why it is $2.99 instead of $2.49? After the millions you just spent is that 50 cents really gonna break the bank? I just don't get people, don't take your frustration out on me, OH and please DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AT ME!!! I am not a catcher and I find it rather RUDE that you can not just HAND it to me. I am not below you because I work in retail and you are a Doctor, I just choose not to go to school for 12343 years so I could have a God complex. People, really, please remember that I am a person too, and working for a living is something MOST of us HAVE to do, I am not here to please every asshole that decides I should be their bitch that day. *rant off*
     Other than all that I am just freaking peachy. I am waiting ever so impatiently for my grades from school. They are supposed to be posted online by 4 pm and I have already checked 5 times and am tired of waiting, 4 is a long ways away.
    We bought a new VERY expensive sign for our store (on credit of course) it weighs 150 pounds and arrived on a flatbed. It is going up on Saturday, I cannot wait to see it. I think I will take pics and post them so you can all ohhh and ahh over it too. :-)

OK people, you have had your fix, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Retail workers are the backbone of this country.... I wish more people realized it and treate dthem with respect. I'm sorry Heather. I'm sorry that there are such assholes in the world. At least they are easy to spot right? lol

Hugs!

I hope you had a great Christmas and somehow the spirit came over you. We finally decorated our tree about December 20th. At that point it was kind of like why bother, but it definately gets you in the mood.

Many people do not like this time of year - stress of the entire season. It's weird - being December 26th, it seems like all the shopping and pressure was two weeks ago and not just yesterday. I guess maybe that is it - we work so hard for a month and put ourselves under so much pressure for 10 minutes.

Well, now that I have depressed myself, I hope you are having a better day. :)
