Day 90...I think

So I'm exhausted. I've spent the last six days working full time at the music store doing what I used to; dealing with people's junk and talking to nice and friendly people (it's a mixed bunch.) I've had fun for the most part, excluding today when I had to dig through wet garbage in the Northwest drizzle, looking for something that was attached to a case that belonged to a customer. It shouldn't have been pulled off in the first place, but it was for some reason, and I dug for about a half hour before I gave up. I luckily didn't have to face the guy again, and someone else took care of it for me. The guy knew I was digging through trash, so he seemed a little nicer the last time I talked to him after I'd been out for 20 minutes. Everything else was ok. Restrings, talking to people, so on and so forth.

I noticed today that I am halfway hesitant to tell people"Merry Christmas." Because half the time I say it, people walk away from me uncomfortably. And I refuse to wish people a "nice holiday." Every once-in-a-while, someone smiles and says "Merry Christmas to you, too." It was great when Dale (former owner) said to "Put 'Merry Christmas' on the readerboard. Forget all this holiday bull s---."

"Yes, sir."

I don't know what it is. Why don't people call it what it freaking is? Because no one actually calls it "holiday" in their own house.

I'll just have to deal with it.

I'm hungry.

i think its funny that people call it "holiday" instead of christmas becasue they are trying to make it not christian - which is bull anyways - but holiday was origionally holy day, just shortened... so it always makes me laugh that people think that they are dechristianizing it.. haha idiots...
