Christmas is coming?
Apparently so, since we're resetting the store for the holidays. Lots of work. I put in close to 11 hours yesterday, I think. I know my manager said he was staying late. Considering the buses, he probably worked until around 4 this morning - a 15 hour day. Wonder how much was left for today's staff to do. Massive price changes are the worst part. That and resetting our confection. I stickered soooo much chocolate for the clearance bin yesterday! Should have thought to bring some home, too, but by then I just wanted to come home.
We have free passes to see Pirate Radio this evening, courtesy of Alliance. Yeah for them sending us passes. Andy and I are going out for dinner beforehand. Kind of a belated birthday evening out for him. I don't think he's had dinner out since we went to The Works in January!
Contemplating getting dressed and heading to the post office to pick up a parcel. I know it's books so I'm debating whether it'll be too heavy to carry home. I need one of those little wheelie things that people use for groceries. Then again, I'd have to drag that through the construction zone that is Wellington Street. Perhaps better off to struggle with carrying it. Curses to whomever it was who pointed me to bookcloseouts.com. I spend far too much money there. Hey, not my fault they keep having sales!
On the plus side, some of the books are Christmas gifts. That'll be 3 people done off my list, leaving me 9 more people to buy for. Hmmm, if I'm going downtown for dinner on Saturday, perhaps it'll be time to get a bit more shopping done. The sooner done, the better.
Have also been watching the price of airline tickets to San Antonio. Prices range anywhere from $350 to nearly $800. The only drawbacks to the lower priced tickets is that I'd have 2 stops each way instead of just one. That could be brutal. Also, for the most part the flights arrive very late in the evening. Still, getting there in 8-9 hours is much better than the 48 that Greyhound takes. And the cheapest airline ticket is only $140 more than a bus ticket.
