Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 


Tomorrow we switch around our store, so our wall o' purses turns into a wall o' backpacks. This isn't a really bad thing. Or it wasn't supposed to be, until two days ago Head Office cheerfully said, "Oh yeah, and while you're at it, we want you to rearrange the rest of the store before the weekend too."

Aha ha haaaaaa...idiots.

So now my energy's already been halved, if I'm lucky, and I still have a massive undertaking to contend with tomorrow too. Thanks, Head Office. Way to give us advanced notice for this one. In an unrelated note, does anyone have a spare alibi they're using?


And in a moment of sending out the wrong message, yesterday I saw a family wandering through the the mall; there were about 3 kids, the oldest maybe on the verge of being a teenager, accompanied by their mom. On the back of the oldest guy's shirt was the large, neon-green statement "World's Largest Member." And his mother was lovingly rubbing his back in circular motion with her palm...right over this particular declaration.

I can only hope that there's more information on the front of the shirt to give this better if not less squick-inducing perspective. Otherwise, it's a brilliant moment of contextual fail, because my mind crashed right into the gutter after seeing that.

Labels: family togetherness fail, Head Office preparedness fail
