Christmas can go to heck....with a capital ECK... 


I think I am done with the holidays. They can be over now. After spending the last week and a bit getting sworn at, insulted and mistreated, I can officially say Christmas is the worst holiday o the year. People do not act like normal humans during the Christmas season, in fact Christmas is notorious for providing polar extremes. On the one hand you have the excessively happy Christmas idealist, who is annoyingly chipper and is most lkely to spout the phrase, "Jesus is the reason for the season." Oh yeah, and they probably grew up as an unreformed CLA kid. The other extreme is super-angry-swear-face person, who is looking for any and all reasons to hate on everyone. Maybe in the world outside of the mall people are more balanced, but within the land of Mall people can generally fit into one of those two categories. Mall people are nuts....and annoying....so:

Top 5 Annoying Mall People:
1. Angry debit machine people. Gosh these people are nucking futs. They take one look at our 25 cent surcharge (which isn't our surcharge....long story) and flip out. It ussualy involves swearing, the slamming down of our debit machine and the proclamation of the illegality of the situation.
2. The helicopter guy. He has a booth over by the Santa display, and I swear his only job is to yell, "It comes back every time," whenever he pulls the little helicopter toys string, which is about very minute to a minute and a half. I want to knock the darn thing out of the air and yell, "No! It is not coming back! Ever!"
3. Stupid line people. Sometimes, we only have one of our two tills open. This is signified by every one lining up at one till and me being the only person in the store. Yet in spite of this, there is always that one person who lines up at the other till, and when you inform that tills closed, they get angry because...well, I'm not sure why. It is not my fault that they suck at problem solving. In fact they remind me of the kid in high school who thought Canada was part of the States and Bill Clinon was our leader. Just not very bright.
4. Agressive kiosk people. They literally try and tackle you to get there product some mention. I don't want dead sea lotion to rub on my face. Especially after you have accosted me for the billionth time that day.
5. Angry refund people. This ussualy invoves having somethng thrown at me (I have recently had a hot dog thrown at me), pouring drinks down our drink bin (not where you pour drinks) or just generally treating people poorly rather than letting us help them to make them happy.

Dan as far as interpreting your dream.....it is fairly simple: There will be a famine of air gel in seven years, so in order to keep your family proteted from this famine you should stockpile haircare products. Now, about half that kingdome....can I exchange it for cash or credit?
