Christmas Spirit

If you die and go to hell you are sent straight to a mall to serve the public during the Christmas holiday season.  Any feelings of goodwill and faith can be shattered in just a few minutes of working in the midst of all of the "Christmas Spirit."  I witnessed mother and daughter scream fests, horrible displays of too large women wearing too small clothes, harassment and theft.  It was not pretty.  

This time of my life was a short two months managing the Lane's Christmas kiosk.  It was so bad the day after Christmas I fled all the way out to Colorado.  I call this time simply "The Kiosk."  

Sign*A*Rama, Where the World goes for Signs

Telephone:  Ring, Ring, Ring

Me:  "Thank you for calling Sign*A*Rama South Brisbane, this is Erin."  

Idiot on other end:  "Do you make signs?"  

Pause..................

Me:  "Umm, yes."  

Idiot on other end:  "How much are they?"
