[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 395581"] Winter break here starts the middle of next week (I don't get it, either). I think I've got (or will have) babysitting covered so I don't have to take too many days off work over her break. Hibernator living up to her nickname today. Don't blame her, I'd prefer to crawl back under the covers and sleep for another few months myself. Was asked the other day by a ex-coworker's grandma (she and her husband do a fair amount of missionary type work, mostly helping refugees get on their feet here and learn English, etc), if it would be okay if bought kiddo a Christmas present. I was floored, and of course I said yes and thank you and all. My Dad and stepmom (as always) are making sure kiddo has a decent Christmas, and they've been there to listen to me agonize and cry about how to handle her and help her, I can't appreciate them enough. We're expecting today and tomorrow to be very busy at work since coupons went out yesterday, and while it's great to get business so we have jobs and all, it's really stressful since I'm not a social person for the most part. Most of our regulars are great, but coupons = a lot of not-regulars, and people are so RUDE this time of year. Gets worse as it gets closer to the holidays, too. I work in fast food (far cry from the office jobs I used to have when I was younger), and I can't tell you how many people just.don't.listen. Or look. "Do you have X? How much is it?" Oh, you mean the item in full color with a huge picture in the middle of the menu you're looking at with the prices right under it? Never heard of it. Ditto the 4 foot tall photos on the windows you drove by a bit too fast while almost hitting the people walking in. Don't know anything about it. And the answer to "Would you like a combo?" is NOT "Pepsi." Especially when we carry Coke products. Yes, I have to ask, I can be fired for not asking, no need to be rude to me about like the 50 people in front of you were. Really, two minutes working drive-thru is often more than enough to make me want to put my head through the wall. Hope you ladies stay warm, and your easy child does well on her exam. [/QUOTE]
