Okay so I was at the mall today (just window shopping, Toushirou, I'm doing great at this only-buying-necessities thing) and right after I saw this totally necessary pair of blue kitten heels, I turned around and bumped right into Santa.

Santa. I mean, there's a lot of him to bump into and all, but you don't expect to find him in Victoria's Secret. Which maybe maybe is the reason he was being chased by security, I don't know. But pretty soon he was being escorted off the premises, and there was a whole row of crying kids being told that Rudolph would probably stump up the bail money in time for christmas.

Well, I'm not one to miss an opportunity, you know? And the upshot is that I quit my job at the Chicken Hutch this afternoon. I think this is maybe the first time I quit a job before they could fire me. Except that one time at Kinko's, but I saw that one coming after I accidentally gave their best client 10,000 photocopies of my ass.

They were good to me at the restaurant and all, I mean that free thanksgiving Chicken Bucket was a really sweet gesture, but I don't think I'm cut out for the food services industry. I realised at Ino's auction that what I really want to do is help the children. I feel like maybe that has to do with Iruka rubbing off on me. He really does that a lot.

Anyhow, I went and asked for the job at Santa's grotto. I guess at first the guy in charge was pretty concerned about how I was gonna look with a beard. But all I had to do was pick up a fur trimmed bikini (Victoria's secret is like, full of necessities) and let him sit on my lap, and I think he realised I was right for the position.

So, this year the mall is being visited by Mary Christmas!

Wanting this job has nothing to do with getting to be at the mall every day until December. I really feel like it's fate, a little christmas miracle. Oh! Toushirou, sweetie, they have a vacancy for an elf if you need a extra money. You'd look adorable in one of those green pointy hats. Plus, it adds height.


Private:

I'm so happy about this, honestly. Santa does no paperwork. The elves even do the giftwrapping, while all he has to do is sit in his big chair and promise little girls that their parents will get them that christmas pony. I guess it's no wonder he got fat.

But despite all that, they really pay decent money for this kind of work, and I know Toushirou hated me working at the fast food place. If I can just put aside enough in the next couple weeks I oughta be able to make his christmas something really awesome. Either that or I'll finally get through to the radio station that's giving away free trips to Lapland.

I guess I can celebrate during my shift at the bar tonight.
