Christmas Eve Thoughts

There is a monster storm in the middle of North America which is causing chaos with the airlines and highways. If you're traveling on the roads you better pack an emergency kit. On the East Coast there's no sign of a storm anywhere. This morning I spent the better part of three hours in a mad dash to grab gifts from a 24 hour Wal-mart. We queued up at the long lines. I knew the game well. I sized up the locals around me: They were all tired, grumbling about the pathetic number of cashiers out servicing the customers. Some idiots ahead of me were raving about these stupid Snugee blanket things. I looked over: They had bought THREE of them. To quote what I over heard: "I can't believe I got them! They're so hard to find!".

Seriously? Have you ever seen people wearing these things at home, let alone in public? You look absolutely retarded. Let me set the scene.



Ya. That about sums it up folks. And then I discover the line I'm in is actually OUT OF SERVICE. Yes, you see, instead of telling people the line is closed, all the cashier did was hang a sign off the cart that was 3 people away from me. Nobody could see it. I finally clued in when the cashier told the person in front of me she was closed. You stupid beotch. I turned around and announced the line was closed, and walked over to the adjacent line which had a massive amount of people ahead of me. By the time I got rang through, it was three quarters of an hour later and I'm pretty sure I would have sold my soul to be first in line.

Merry Fucking Christmas.
