a customer actually told me she felt sorry for me because i have to work in a living nightmare. my very existence was so soaked in sadness that it actually caused her emotional anguish.
it's the most wonderful time of the year.
all i want to do is eat gingerbread cookies and drink white peppermint mochas until my brain hemorrhages, but instead i have to pretend that i'm not thinking about beating people to death with a roll of wrapping paper all day.
and it's only december fourth.
like most things, i have a love/hate relationship with christmas.
love:
- everything is coated in glitter and smells like cinnamon
- heavy emphasis on baked goods
- band aid
- christmas lights
- christmas cards
- rankin/bass specials
- nog
hate:
- everything else

christmas happens every year, so you really don't have to get nuts. just calm the hell down and STOP SHOPPING for five fucking minutes so you can actually enjoy the lights and the cookies instead of begrudgingly adding them to your already too long to-do list. extended mall hours do not a holiday make.
is it january yet?
love so pauvre

You need an advent calendar type countdown that has a small reward in it for each day you get closer to the end of this dreadfulness
an item to express my sentiments is in the mail to you, my friend.
lerve.
my sympathies as well. I stepped foot in the Eaton's centre yesterday to use the washroom, and nearly wanted to kill people with wrapping paper rolls myself. Hang in there. I hope the gingerbread eases your pain somewhat.
Christmas is EVIL!!

I soooo know how you feel! I hated working retail around the holidays. Luckily, I don't work retail anymore. I'm way more uptight than I used to be so I would end up having a meltdown.
