Back.
Everyone's back to work today. I clearly prefer my time off, but I still need to pay for my extravagant lifestyle, so I don't really mind being back. There's some confusion to the point where I spent several minutes debating with my roommate as to how many days this quarter I've taken off in regards to when I'll stop qualifying for my bonus, but I don't really need to worry about it since I absolutely still do, and it only becomes an issue if I go out of my way to take more time off before the end of the year.
It's December, so I've grudgingly accepted the Christmas themes that I've seen sprouting up all about. Unlike in previous years, it is surprisingly easy to ignore for me, if I so choose, which serves in some way to remind me that difference between retail and non-retail work. On the surface, one might suppose that it is just an issue of income, but the difference is more along the lines of schedule and feelings towards consumerism. During holidays, the retail worker is supposed to live Christmas and crap tinsel, which is about as uncomfortable as I suppose it sounds. Every year, thousands of innocent retail workers are hospitalized for taking their holiday instructions too literally.
So, anyhow, don't eat tinsel. I'm trying to help, here.
