Thanksgiving really is the most stressful time of the year. There's yelling over the phone, long lines at the grocery store, frenzied plans, last minute invites extended to those with no plans of their own, dogs knocking people laden with dishes over and putting their paws on the counters; then, after it's all done, there is a huge mess, enough food left over to feed five families, and resentments that have been forgotten just long enough to get you through Christmas with these people (where it will begin all over again). I just cannot wait to sit through a meal with a grandmother who thinks I am a lesbian because she was married with two kids by the time she was my age and a grandfather who believes the answer to my current car's unreliability is to buy a bright purple van sporting orange flames (I am positive it was designed by a pedophile on acid).
I love the holidays. At least I can leave the mayhem early... to go to work. I despise any customer who comes into the store after two in the morning on Black Friday. Who wants to buy high-priced women's fashion at three in the morning; a 'half price' deal is not an actual deal if you are still paying forty dollars for a shirt.
This playlist (and coffee) will get me through until I can collapse for a few hours Friday afternoon.
