Retail Hell

Or as Wal~Mart calls it, "Blitz" Day. Yes, for the uninformed among you, I work at Wally. As you can imagine, today was a great day to be a retail employee. Okay, I guess technically I'm a retail employee, but in all actuality I never work on the sales floor... my job title is Receiving Directs. I process all of our direct store deliveries and do all the paperwork and invoicing for them. I do this Tuesday-Saturday, 7-4, that's the set schedule. Except for today. Because today we didn't have any deliveries. So guess what I got to do today? I got to work in layaway! Oh the joys of working the salesfloor on the busiest shopping day of the year. Then, because my mental state has obviously deteriorated by the end of the day, I decided that I would go shopping myself. So I've pretty much spent sixteen hours in a retail establishment today.

The upside to all of this is that I did pick up a really nice digital camera for only $199, and a pair of jeans for only $8. Oh the savings. I wonder.... How much sanity is worth?

I'm going to sleep now.
