Retail blues...

Now don't get me wrong - retail can be fun. But it can be pretty hard to take sometimes. Like when I was told a whole week and a half before Thanksgiving that I will not be able to have Sunday through Thursday of Thanksgiving week off as I had planned for all of 6 weeks. Talk about a company pretty much embodying the Grinch! Now I have to pay an additional $200 dollars to fly home to see my family (apparently the concept of being from somewhere other than here is also totally foreign to them). I swear next year they will make it so no one can have vacation in October either because that too will be "Holiday season". Retail is killing me slowly! I have formally decided that if I am not offered the position I want and deserve with Bliss (which would take me out of the store which shall go unnamed...) by April - they will have no more Annie. Which means I may actually get a vacation once in a while.
