I don't believe in a lot of things, but I do believe in Duct Tape

I survived another Black Friday! It was actually pretty fun. Almost all of the customers were happy and pleasant - I only had one snippy customer. I had some really fun people working at my bank of registers, too, so that kept it fun and easy. We died down for a few hours after 3am, so I was able to leave around 5am, yay. I came home and slept for a few hours, and now it's 3 1/2 hours of punkin' chunkin'. :)

I have to be at work at 4am today, becuse we OPEN AT 5AM FOR RETURNS. Why the fuck we're opening at 5AM THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS is beyond me. I can't imagine that anyone in their right mind is going to get up this fucking early to return shit to the store on the day after Christmas.

Of course, I don't know what time we normally open the day after Christmas, because I haven't worked it in a few years because it's been on the weekend the last few years and I usually DON'T WORK ON THE WEEKENDS.

Except this year I've had to work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY IN DECEMBER because they have to start their 3Day sales on THURSDAY instead of FRIDAY, which means that all the big graphics have to come down on SUNDAY BEFORE THE STORE OPENS which means that I have to drag my ass in dark and early every Sunday this month just to take down stupid signs.

Bah fucking humbug.

I just worked a 12 hour shift full of crabby, needy customers.



Can it be February now, please?

Am off to face the hordes of crazy Black Friday shoppers. As usual, I'm behind the jewelry counter, which is just fine with me. I already 'called' one of the registers, so with any luck I'll just be ringing. I don't really have the patience to deal with indecisive people on the best of days, let alone today.

Wish me luck!!
