Well I have had a few days on the piss with friends and family and now I am just getting ready for the big event. Not tomorrow for today is my birthday and I may just have a drink or two.

Well, not really. If you read the page that I linked, it clearly explains that nobody really knows when Jesus' birthday was.

Also if you read down a bit it'll explain how nice the Christians were to the Jews.

I'm frankly offended by Jesus. If he had any decency whatsoever he would come back and thank us for celebrating his birthday. What a rude jerk!

A career as a chimney cleaner is rewarding and fruitful in the holiday season.

Man that is apparently going to be a big day for us at Staples. Time to observe what maniacal human behavior is like on a day with big specials and product returns galore.

Peoples are weird sometime. It still amaze me how some people have time to loose instead of enjoying the time with their family...sad...

Hehe, the funny part was how the store opened at 10AM, but the employees were there at 7:30 starting to get the place ready. Then, 15 to 10AM, the boss calls for a reunion, whilst the cars were piling up outside in the parking lot, people getting in line, and gives us what just looked like a modern rendition of an LOTR scene, like Helm's Deep, where we strenghtened our forces as much as possible and now hoped to survive the onslaught coming. He boosted our morale, our fliers were in our hands, armed. And our bases were covered. And as the gate opened, they attacked!!! Man down man down!!!

CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE! *runs with flier in a lifted arm sword position*

May I help you with something sir? :lol:

Our sale started on boxing day. Due to stupid Sunday trading laws we are only allowed to actually take money for 6 hours. We opened at 10:00 for a preview hour in wich we took orders but never processed any. It was fantastic, victim after victim all asking which was the best offer. I took £62000 in one day and am expecting more today. Today we are open 10:00 till 20:00 so we have a lot more scope for a bigger day.

We did quite a bit of money today, but once the afternoon yeilded the way for the evening, it became dead. Very few customers. Quite weird after that huge day. It was amazing hearing so much noise in the store, unlike ever before since I've started working, IIRC. You truly see how the economy works when consumers want to spend by being encouraged, because it was nuts.
