There's A Subtle Theme Here...
Break out that high-end bottle of champagne you've been saving and crank up Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (though you might want to skip ahead to about 9 minutes in, right where things get all
rousing Hollywood traileresque). Heck, while you're at it, throw in the Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus and we're set.
Yes indeed, today is the very last day Mel ever has to step foot into the eighth level of hell--er, the Stratford store on a work-related basis. Once 4pm rolls around, she will be free to stroll away, whistling a pleasant tune to herself as she plots vicious revenge against the store that has been slowly driving her mad since August.
Right now bets are being taken as to how long the store lasts before it implodes under its combination of teenage dramallama/incompetence, or whenever God decides to smite it out of compassion for the human race. We'll just have to see.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have Neil Gaiman's "Graveyard Book" to read. (Which cleverly disguised its existence in the bookstore for a week by pretending to be a young adult-oriented piece of fiction, thus never appearing on the
New Releases display with everything else. Cunning book though it may be, I was on to it after the 6th day...)
