A brief announcement.

In one of my favorite movies, Real Genius, there is a short scene that applies today. During a montage of shots showing the two main characters hard at work studying, there is scene in a library. Several students are deep into their work, when one stands up and begins screaming. Wordlessly, just venting his stress. He flees the room still screaming, a broken husk of a man.

With that scene in mind, I present my update on Cost Plus at Christmas time, seasonal employees, our beloved customers, and the Forty Niners:

AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! BLEEEEEEAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! AARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I actually ended up inside a similar retail store (might have been that chain, might have been a competitor) last year, on duty, in uniform.

The job was to stand there, look good, and if someone decided to expose themselves, laugh and point.

I had to fill in for someone who quit on the spot because "it was too difficult." After an hour, I understood.

They play Muzak to get the employees to work. It's the only way to block out the noise . . . the Noise . . . the Horrible NOISE!

Ahem. I feel much better now.
