Work and the Christmas Season..

Work...

All in all, I love the people I work with. The only problem being that many times they smile at each other and then complain as soon as the other person leaves. It's SO frustrating! Then again, it hasn't changed much from one job to another... Although, when I worked at the pool, we had separate change rooms from the guys and a 3:1 ratio (times 4 or so...) instead of a 7:1 ratio.

Christmas season...

So, I love Christmas and all but what it comes down to is that by December 28, I am really sick of the overcommercialization of this holiday, as well as the "tin can Christmas Carols" that are STILL being played in the mall. The other thing is that when you work in retail and you put up a sign saying "No refunds or Exchanges on December 26 or 27th. Thanks, Management." you would expect the crap to hit the fan. Surprisingly, we didn't have too many complaints... We did have a couple of customers who came in, screamed at us, threatened to call head office and stormed out... But really, no major complaints. *rolling eyes* We had staff snapping at each other, complaining about switching (or not switching) shifts, stupid customers, large sales, etc... Gosh, it was retarded!

So, the nice thing about this time of year is that hopefully people are almost done with their petty, stupid attitudes and soon people will go back to their normal selves because lately they have been acting ridiculous!

Post Open House...

The open house went pretty well! We had a good time overall and at the end of the night we had some... interesting adventures. We ended up going to Wal-Mart and then driving all over the city and taking photo's with the stuffed cow we bought and random people. I think the best picture is with the bouncers from Coyote's! :) Although, my brother and the cow on the back of the police car being "arrested" is pretty good too. (The pics are on Adam's Facebook and possibly his Nexopia as well.) We ended up back at my place after hitting Timmy's for doughnuts and made tea, hot chocolate and coffee. We didn't go to bed until 7am but it was a ton of fun! :) All in all, I think everyone had fun!
