because work is the only thing i know

so, i am feeling very much not at all sane right now.  people who come into the store to return things are driving me up the wall even if it is only by the sheer numbers of them coming in.  and some of their requests...aiee!  and also, i really wish that people would not tell me their personal problems like the lady who was returning several hundred dollars of merchandise because her husband was ready to divorce her because of money issues.  for god's sakes, i had to try about six or seven credit cards that she owned to see if the stuff was on them, since she threw away her receipts since she didn't want her husband to know how much she spent.  wouldn't he find out anyway once the statement came in?  i do not understand.

i also keep hurting myself on things like the swift-tagger, in the drawers, on the shelf...that last one was this morning, and it was one of those shelves that is not actually attached but rests on those metal things, and the whole thing came down and was sitting on my head.  in the process, i lost my glasses and so i was trying not to move so i wouldn't break them, but i also was trying to prevent a huge tub of holds from crashing onto the floor.  that one was actually pretty amusing.

i am mostly just grouchy because i know that i have four more weeks of this.  and just broke the third wine glass in a week and a half.  mostly i don't feel bad about breaking them, because, ian, i told you not to leave them in my room!  i just hate having to clean up the mess.

also, i feel grouchy because i just plain feel stupid.  it's a combination of this dark dreariness that makes me sleepy all day long no matter what, and the fact that i just looked and i have read only four books the entire month of october.  and they were all young adult books, so it wasn't like i was re-reading jonathan strange and mr. norrell four times.  and this grogginess and bad temper are making things like a desire to work on any grad school applications completely dissipate.

countdown to christmas: 25 days.
