Tonight, I finished:
- 3 jarred cookie mixes
- 4 sets of hot cocoa spoons
Only two bullets on that list, but today I also:
- juggled no less than 2 customers (usually 3) at once for a solid 8-hour period;
- hand-sold gift cards… without a Santa hat to make me cuter (which made the selling more difficult);
- felt (and acted, let’s be honest) awkward when my Secret Santa turned out to be, well, awkward;
- pulled my back trying to get a box full of Twilight paperbacks off a shelf higher than my 5 feet and 3 inches;
- found myself covered in mocha syrup after the pump exploded all over my face. Lovely.
On the up side, I did manage to make it through the day without beating anyone with random selections off the restock cart, even though there was drama! drama! drama! As ever.
I am so tired. 2008, please leave us quietly, and with whatever dignity you can muster this late in your lifespan.
2008 has not been good to you. Let’s hope 2009 is friendlier and full of much more goodwill. :-\ In the meantime, you deserve a spa day.
