to take an early holiday vay-cay from the internet. But it's been kinda busy here, partly because I've been picking up a few shifts at the bookstore--which brings me to today's observation.
I think December 23rd is the worst day of the year to work retail. People are panicked, of course. HELLO! IT'S THE 23RD! But they're also hopeful enough to believe in Christmas miracles, as in you can get them what they want by the 25th. Even though it's the 23rd.
The 24th, actually, is a a more pleasant day to work. By then shoppers realize they've blown it, and they're just grateful for anything you do to help them out.
Anyhoo. I'm going to officially go on internet vay-cay as of tonight. I'll check in with you again on Monday, January 2. Meanwhile, thank you for making my blogging year so satisfying. Merry Christmas, guys. I pretty much love you.

Merry Christmas, Ann. Its good to read you whenever, and wherever, possible. Now its off to finish shopping.
It used to be that Christmas Eve was the best businessman's shopping day because it was so un-crowded. Having put off important purchases to the last minute, one was relieved just to find anything. It was not fun this year because it was so crowded, probably because the 24th was Saturday.
