Hmm. I kind of forgot I had this thing...
Yes, I have not used this thing in, oh, a year or so, but I needed to vent about stupid Target customers and feel weird about doing so on Facebook what with me having coworkers that read my Facebook account ( Read more... ) -
in which I post an overdue update, having forsaken my LJ for pithy one-liners on Facebook
Bullet points is about where I'm at this week, gotta say ( Read more... ) -
in which I share retail horror stories for the eleventy-jillionth time
I have been ignoring this for a while, preferring to write acerbic and pithy one-liners on my Facebook status, which I could consider my art, when it hit me: I haven’t written about retail horror stories recently ( Read more... ) -
in which I tap my inner curmudgeon and talk about my trip to Florida
Back from a much needed week in Florida, which I spent mostly relaxing at the pool and trying to remember what it's like not having any responsibilities. Seriously, I am all about being an early retiree now. We could all live in a retirement community in Florida and ride around in golf carts and enjoy early bird specials ( Read more... ) -
in which I play amateur anthropologist again

A day or two later, I went to the Honors Institute welcoming barbecue in the clearing out ( Read more... ) -
Nineteen things about which I have mixed feelings

in which I tell yet another retail horror story: Black Friday edition!
So today was Black Friday. As you all know, I work for Target part-time, and had agreed to come in and work today at 6:00 to help with the rush, because, truly, I enjoy a spectacle, and Black Friday is busy enough to make the day go by really fast. Last year, I spent the day in the toy department, which was a little, well, chaotic and migraine- ( Read more... )
