Made it thru the Xmas Eve shopping riot! Was ready to go home and collapse but Himself dragged me off SHOPPING after work. Oh Lord, help me. I wanted to kill him. He fed me Popeye's Fried Chicken on the way home though, so I was somewhat consoled. Didn't collapse into a panting heap after all.
I was in Men's Suits yesterday - which was really calm compared to some other departments. I could look out across the aisles and displays and see my co-workers getting frazzled, but I really did pretty well. No great credit to me- my department was a little more dignified, that's all.
I was given a couple of helpers from other departments, since even magnificent me couldn't have handled it alone. Still had to answer questions and find things because the girls were from Cosmetics and Women's Better Dresses, but they were a great help.
Company fed us well- Christmas Dinner indeed - I could have eaten that broccoli/chicken/cheese/mushroom side dish until I popped.
The rent-a-cop (an off-duty sheriff's deputy) had to escort some customers out after we closed - some people don't know how to stop shopping!
I can hear the rumble in the distance - the Return Riot starts tomorrow. I will be in the store two hours prior to opening, burning up the markdown guns! Sales galore start tomorrow.
Hah. I'm polishing up my credit card and employee discount right now.
