Yesterday at work was typical December; the calls were completely back to back, most of them inquiring about the status of already placed orders...but the good thing was, the day went quickly. I volunteered to go in early tomorrow (so I can get off at 9 PM, yay!).

In grimmer news, because the geniuses who turned scheduling on its ear had changed my schedule for Friday and I didn't bloody know about it, I won't get holiday pay for Thanksgiving. I know, it's not fair, I'm pissed, and if I EVER get my hands on the techno-tard who railroaded us into that shitty software, I'm going to strangle him with his own entrails. And if that means coming back as a cockroach until Nuclear Winter turns to spring, then so be it.

Speaking of scheduling, instead of letting me work next Sunday and leaving the rest of my schedule alone, as I would have preferred, next week they have me going in two hours early every day. In years past, mandatory overtime has only lasted for two weeks, but they've never pulled that "reschedule you during the same week it's posted for" shit either.

*deep breathing*

Today, I finally got over to WalMart for groceries. In the spirit of the season, I picked up a $3 poinsettia and small wooden Nutcracker* and some peppermint sticks. Got the essentials. Ran into HHappy during checkout.

On the way home, I stopped in and paid my FPL bill. At the moment, the only thing that isn't up-to-date is cable, and I've spoken with them. The status is quo.

====================

* One of my best Christmas memories ever was of the year I was seven, when my brother took me to see the Nutcracker ballet. Doing the math, he would've been 22 at the time, quite the man of the world---or at least New York City. We took the Staten Island ferry to The City, and subways from there to where it was being performed---Lincoln Center---and for the next several hours were transported to a world of grace and magic. I kept the program for years; it was lost when we moved down here.
