I’m going to use my inability to sleep like a normal person to get a little creative and voice my voice of supreme nothingness.
“Why?” You may ask.
Because I go to work in about 2 1/2 hours. Do the math, that equates to MIDNIGHT.
“Wait, but isn’t tomorrow Thanksgiving? Who works on Thanksgiving?”
*raises hand*
Yes. Me. You see that lonely hand held up in the air over there?
No, not there.
Here.
There you go.
*waves*
I normally don’t complain this much, especially given my trade: RETAIL. It’s a given I’m going to be busy during the holiday season, it is.
BUT.
Not once, have I ever, EVER, had to work the DAY OF THANKSGIVING! I mean, seriously, who does that?
Oh.
Supermarkets.
Yes, for people ARE VERY forgetful. It’s Thanksgiving. You’re in the kitchen, and a mishap…happens. Rather than drop to your knees and look up and scream, “NOoOOooOOoOo!!!!” while shaking your fist, you shrug your shoulders, and head off to where? The supermarket. Because on Thanksgiving, they’re the only ones who are pretty much open! Actually, any place that sells FOOD, is open that day. Why? Because you effed up your dinner and need a quick item replacement.
OR!
You’re making dinner with your family and someone asks you to pass the cranberries.
“What the?!”
You realize you forgot to buy the cranberries. Off you go!
It’s brilliant really, from a business point of view. Why close stores? You realize how many people took advantage of certain stores being open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? LOTS! (Big, Lots! haha!)
Take Rite-Aid for example. They were ALWAYS open 24/7…then they decided to close and have “hours of operation” because of the rough economy. Well, the public spoke. You’re screwed. People love rolling out of bed at 3AM only to realize they’re congested, and can’t go back to sleep. So they drive out to a Rite Aid to get a fix, only to realize that it’s closed.
“What the!?”
A night of pain and agony ensues. No more sleep. Restless workday. Horrible performance. Management notices, and fires you for productivity, or lack there of.
HOLD ON!
Okay, that was seriously THE WORST CASE scenario. But you see where I’m going with this? Closing down, bad idea. Now you’re in trouble Rite-Aid…CVS is taking over. Hell, even TARGET is offering TehDrugs. Go figure. Damn you, Super Target. (You’re amazing!)
So I have a friend, who has a friend, who is in quite the situation. I can’t do anything but to listen it out, and answer truthfully. Even though the friend of a friend is a “new” friend to me. An answer is an answer, whether it’s an old answer, or new answer right? As long as it’s the RIGHT answer, that’s all that matters!
“But who’s to say your answer is right?”
Are you questioning my rightness? Best Reespekt. There are no wrong answers in my book, just poorly thought out decisions that further need guidance to well thought out decisions. Get it?
“Kinda”
Ok, good.
“You got me singing LA LA LA LA LA”
Oh Lionel Richie, I hear this song everyday at work, at it kills me. He’s all gloating that he’s in love. That he found a new woman that loves him in every way. That he thinks he found the real thing. And how it makes his heart sing, “LA LA LA LA LA”
You bastard. Just rub it in why don’t you?!
“Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand.
I’m not…broke, just a broken hearted man.”
This song, I look forward to hearing. It usually plays in the same loop with Lionel, but man, it’s sooo catchy I love it! Even though, it’s also about some punk ass who found some girl and is in love, and is just waiting for her to come around…
“Cuz if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.”
See…I’m not completely immune to the topic of love. I’m a romantic. A sweetheart. A rare breed these days. I’m just sayin…
Okay…seriously. I’m going to try and nap, because this is getting way out of hand. Stupid love songs at work. Damn the fact that I know these songs. Damn the fact that I also have these songs on my playlist. So not only do I hear the songs at work, but also OUTSIDE of work. I mean, seriously. Who does that?!
*raises hand*
Yep. Me again.
No…over here.
Not there…
Turn around…
Yep. Hi.
