Found Treasure
Have recovered one copy of Steve Young on Santa’s lap, a roll of stamps I hadn’t realized I had misplaced, and a fresh pack of mints. Woot!
Other relics include my highschool copy of Strunk & White’s the Elements of Style and my UM English Departement booklet titled “What Can I Do With A Degree In English”. One of these items is worth platinum. The other is worth wiping my ass with. Take a guess which is which.
Santa Pimping Story Du Jour
Well, not so much a story as some observations on bad holiday behavior:
Why on earth would a mother feel justified to leave her screeching, bawling, terrified two year old on the lap of a big fat hairy stranger in a red suit for 10 tremendously excrutiating minutes while changing film, bullying her husband, and treating my staff and myself like twits because *we* seem incapable of capturing a shot of her darling angel inspite of our 15 previous attempts as a restless crowd of 40 other families try to quell the increasingly anxious toddlers in their hands? And then coming back 2 minutes later to *RETAKE* the photos (after seeing her around the corner swatting her child’s hand). If you can give me an answer, I’ll give you a candycane.
Way to go holiday spirit.
Yesterday’s Santa Pimping Story Du Jour
The Damn Frick’s Brother to me at 9:42 AM
“Excuse me, are you Kristi Yamaguchi”
“Excuse me, do you think I’d be working at the mall if I were?”
“Oh, sorry, just, thought, you looked… an awful lot like her.”
Um yeah.
2 visiting grandmothers from Joi-zee
“Aww. Mai. Gawd. You are de most goigeous elf Ai’ve evah seen”
“Um, thanks.”
“Ya know, ya should really do some mawdeling or sumpthing”
“Ya know, that’s much better than being told I look like Kristi Yamaguchi this morning.”
