It's quite all right Chim ... that you're a "grinch" that is; not that you have to work so hard :(

Thanks for understanding dear. Some people can take all of the joy out of the season. It always seems like it makes people so mean & grumpy this time do year. The last 2 days people have been so ugly & nasty for no reason.

    Hey sweets :)

    It wasn't a headache, it was a "visual" migrain, just makes it hard to see :)
    It's gone now, I took a nap ;)

    wonder when I forgot how to spell that word? :confused:

    I'm glad you are doing better!

    I took a nap too. To much staring at the seams I guess... must be time for new glasses...

    I try to avoid stores all together after Thanksgiving. I make every effort to have it done before that. People are just horrible after that. The holidays are suppose to be a joy and instead people stress so bad and they act like anyone who works for a store is sub human and doesn't even deserve common courtesy! They want it and they want it now for 1/2 price!

    Awwwh! I know what you mean sweetie. It affects my mood for sure.
    When I moved to michigan for grad school it was in the middle of winter...January. Woke up to grey skies for months. I was sooooo depressed I think. Did you get any ice or snow? It's supposed to head this way on Sunday.

    I miss naps:cry: :lol:

    Yeah, we got quite a bit of ice and a little snow ... just enough to make it white.
    I'm kind of looking forward to going to work tomorrow so I can at least be around some people ... if I can get there that is :unsure:

    Yes!!!!
    Example today (lucky for the man it was the other manager helping him) but it went kinda like this.

    Man: My grandson likes this particular Anime (Japanese cartoon). Do you have it?
    Jenn: Let me check. Sorry sir we're all sold out at the moment. We can special order it for you if you'd like. Takes about 7-10 days for it to arrive but you'd have it in time for the holidays.
    Man: No thanks. What else would he like? But nothing with too much violence in it. There's a lot of violence in some of those.
    Jenn: let me suggest...yada yada yada. Those are all good and kid friendly.
    Man: but would he like those?
    Jenn: I can't say for sure because I don't know him personally sir.
    Man: well sell me something. Don't you watch all of these?
    Jenn: sir based on the one you were looking for & his age these are the ones I feel most comfortable offering as a substitute. I don't watch all of these personally.
    Man: well I can't believe that! You work here & you don't watch these! I want you to sell me something. Tell me what he'd like!
    Jenn: sir I'm sorry but we sale a wide range of products from electronics, music, movies, tv series & collectables. There's no way I could possibly watch everything here. Not knowing the young man this would be what I'd recommend.
    Man: well what good are you? I wanted you to sell me something! Talking to you is pointless!

    You get the point...I'm sure my summary was much nicer than he really was. But you get the point. Basically, you don't know what he likes but you expect us too...really...have a great day sir.

    Uggh! I don't like to be around people when I feel that way. But I guess it does help...even if all i do is think about being at home laying on the couch.

    Gosh balwin ... I don't remember the last time I went to the store of any kind :facepalm:

    It was before I went back to work! :ohmy: I haven't even bought gas :confused:




    Sheesh! I gotta get a life :oops:

    Going into stores is over rated. Had to go to the store to grab some stuff after work. Hated it!:lol:

    You're real pretty in blue though!

    I love it when I don't have to go to a store. Some times hubby will do all the shopping for a while and I am so happy with that! I do start buying in January though so that my Christmas doesn't sneak up with a huge big bill all at once and a mass of rude and obnoxious people!

    Good grief Chim!!!! Is that for real??? 8-o

    Yep! Had a man call & get mad with me yesterday because a Woodstock DVD box set was supposed to be released on Tuesday. I told him we didn't have it. He asked if I knew what Woodstock was. I told him I was familiar but didn't personally listen to it. He was so disgusted that I worked for a 'music store' but I didn't listen to Woodstock. I told him although I didn't that I was in charge of all of the new releases & that I could assure him we didn't receive it. He asked to speak to a manager. I told him I was one & then he got even more upset. Again I explained to him that we sold wayyyy more than just music & that no one here listened to every genre but if we did receive it that I'd know. I'm sure I listen to stuff that he doesn't. Jenn listens to stuff I'd never listen to. None of us know everything.

    I even let him speak to someone else. They told him the same thing...that I would be the person to ask about any and all new releases since they are my responsibility & I'm very knowledgeable.

    People really think that we are the personal google...I'm looking for this song. 'Do you know the artist or title of the album?' Of course they don't. I'm sorry but we can't look up music by a song title. If you know the artist then I'd be glad to walk onto the floor & figure out which cd has the title you're looking for. They still get mad!

    You just can't please anyone this time of year!

    Yeah, me too :)
    DH will buy grocerie's some on his way home from work ... he's not so good on other stuff tho' :unsure:

    I used to love browsing the store's but that just disappeared for me and now I hate going, really weird :confused:

    Makes perfect sense doesn't it! I don't know my own grandson but you should....
