Wednesday, November 26, 2008 and it begins.

Category: News and Politics well, the holidays are pretty much here. who's excited? i kind of am. i'm one of those people who genuinely likes the holidays. not like completely deck out my shit in christmasy crap or wear those gay sweaters, or completely harass people about getting in the christmas spirit. but i do enjoy walking through the mall and listening to christmas music. i guess it's more enjoyable to me than a majority of the year. i don't really understand how some people get all manic depressive around this time of year or get all pissed off at people who do enjoy it. whatever. on the other hand i kind of hate it because i do work in retail. targhetto. woooooo. i guess i can't really complain much though because i work at the photo lab. stand around, listen to music, go on facebook (because for some reason myspace doesn't work on our crap ass pc at the lab), stand around some more, occasionally develop someones' film, and pretty much just people watch. sometimes i feel i'm more of a security guard than anything else because i just stand there and watch people. i used to work out on the floor and actually do stuff and let me tell you, during the holidays that is complete hell. maybe that's why people hate the holidays. it's people that work in retail haha. it's basically just walking back and forth getting stuff for people and while you're on your way to get something for a guest (that's what we call customers at target) another guest stop you to get something for them, so then you've got 2 things to get, and while your on your way to get 1 of those things, somebody else stops you, and so on and so forth until you have to get like 15 things and you forget somebody's thing and then they get all pissed off, and complain and give you the "you're a complete moron" stare, and then you remember to get their thing, and then you get stopped by somebody else and ..... it never ends. after doing this for a couple years you begin to lose hope in humanity and realize just why a country would invade another country or enslave other people. people are mean, selfish, douchebags. especially when there's a sale going on. well i seem to have gone off on a tangent there. i was having some vietnam style flashbacks there. i've been at the photo lab for like 3 years now and had completely forgotten about the crap i used to go through. and that's just with the customers. then there's management. for some reason target hires kids right outta business college to run the stores, and while this is cool because some of them i can completely relate to and they're fun and it's like a big party at target, but other times you get the dumb retarded morons that only god knows how the hell they got outta college. or you happen to get the dumb sorority girl who thinks you aren't taking her seriously because she's a girl. NO YOU DUMB BITCH, WE AREN'T TAKING YOU SERIOUSLY BECAUSE YOUR FUCKING STUPID!! sorry. flashbacks again. see!!! that's how much it sucked because i haven't worked at target since august because then i started school, and now i'm going back today to work a couple days during thanksgiving break and it already pisses me off to just have to think about it. luckily i'll be able to slack off all day, and once 8:45 hits, close down, and bolt. back in the day we'd have to stay till all the aisles were zoned (that means everything is pulled up to the front and neat) and all the reshop was put away (that means that all the merch. that people decided not get, or crap that people returned, is put back where it belongs). but sometimes we'd have to stay there till like 3 in the morning. but now, once 9:00 hits i'm usually in my car saying so long suckers. i can't believe i get paid to do this. when i finally graduate from college and get a real job, remind me to tell you about some of the other things i've gotten paid to do. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL oh man. i'm gonna have to set my profile to private after i'm done with this. there's a group on facebook about our store, and i crack up whenever the kids write their stories about them "being bad" or whatever. man have i got some stories to tell. one day people, one day. well yeah. i have to close the photo lab today. and i get to work on black friday. yippeee. at least i start at 10 instead of having to have to be one of the unlucky turds that volunteered to be there at 5 in the morning. i am curious to see how busy this black friday will be seeing as how the economy is in the shitter. since it's like the busiest shopping day of the year, usually target pulls out the stops and has like a million people working, and all the lanes actually have cashiers at them. i hope the store is packed with employees and nobody shows up. hahahahaha. that'd be great. well yeah. that's enough about target. back to the holidays. thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the year. yay for gluttony!! haha. play some football, eat, eat, eat, and watch the lions lose, and eat some more. it's great. then go back to school for like a week, take some finals, and then it's christmas break!! then christmas, then new years, then the football playoffs, then the superbowl around the first week of february. yeah. usually i put all my school stuff aside from here until february. i don't actually pay attention or anything until after the superbowl. i don't know why. so basically i'm done learning until feb. i'm officially on chill mode starting now. well, yeah. it's a crappy blog. sorry. i wasn't even gonna write anything, i was just gonna write happy thanksgiving, but then i went off on my stupid target rant. peace out turds. if you guys need me i'll be doing jack shit at the photo lab today and friday. that's kind of a weird saying. who started saying "jack shit". who or what is jack? whatever. happy thanksgiving.
