I just finished nine days in a row of holiday retail hell. I cannot believe that I'm still (mostly) upright.
For the past two days I've gotten up at 4:45am to go to the store so I can spend eight hours getting yelled at by customers who don't know better than to ignore the fine print on a coupon. One guy practically came over the counter to scream at me: "This is fucked up! You're just trying to get people to come to the store!"
...
Gee, sir. I guess you have seen through this clever advertising ploy by a national chain of department stores to... get you to shop there!!!
...
Maybe I'm just a cynical bitch (ok, I know I am *g*... ) but when someone offers me something for nothing I tend to assume that there's some kind of catch. I might be pissed off about it, but I'm not *surprised*.
Thank the gods, I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm getting nicely tipsy and heading over to ManRay later on where, I suspect, I shall get throughroghly wasted.
Here's my favorite song to listen to before going out with the intention of getting utterly obliterated:
The Cramps - Let's Get F'cked Up
Wish me monsters!
