I can assure you that I wouldn’t be mentioning Christmas if it didn’t fit in nicely with me being at ‘X’ in my Alphabetical Blog Title Challenge…
I hate The Season Of Goodwill being mentioned anytime before the end of November, but I can’t get away from it. We’ve got the bloody Christmas stock already filling 20% of the store space and we’re only a few weeks away from the sodding Yuletide Music being pumped through the shop. Here I am trying to enjoy this wonderful Indian Summer and I’m being brainwashed into believing it’s Xmas Eve already. I tried to convince the management that we shouldn’t go big on the festive stuff as it might be offensive to our non-Christian customers, but I was swimming against the tide of potential profit.
After a meeting today, I’ve been appointed the unwanted title of “Twat Who Has To Find Local Entertainers To Stand In The Entrance Singing Christmas Songs Without Wanting To Be Paid For It”
Graham has an uncontrollable urge to have bell-ringers, carollers and the like in-store every day in December, and somehow it’s up to me to book them all. As if my work life wasn’t suicide-inducing enough….
