CHOCOLATE INDUCED BITCHING
30.3.02
After Note: I am writing this entry on the Sunday, 31st, past the event, so I seem to have calmed down a bit since the actual shift.
I HATE chocolate, I DESPISE Easter.
What the hell is it with people commercialisation of what was meant to originate as a yet another religious holiday. Why do we give chocolate? Why is Cadbury, and Red Tulip making so much money from the resurrection of 'God'. There stands my deep and meaningful analysis of religion and holidays. It was religious tis now another reason to spend copious amounts of money on dodgy chocolate eggs, [why?] and bunnies [why?] and Easter bilbies [Aussies would be the only people ever to re-create and popularise an almost extinct marsupial by making it apparently able to deliver eggs. Do not get me started on the fact that it barely even has a pouch in which to carry the aforementioned eggs!]
Why do people leave it to the last minute to buy the eggs, bunnies, bilbies, ducks, Winny The Pooh chocolate assorted creatures? With the amount of preservatives in chocolate today, and that natural yeast/fungus content they are not really going to spoil now are they? NO. Yet people are still clambering over each other to get the special chocolate treat for the equally special person in their life.
Now, working for 5 hours on express [15 items or less] at a supermarket on Easter Saturday, is definitely not my idea of fun. And boy was it not fun. I HATE people who insist of coming up to the smokes counter, which I am also meant to be working, and standing there making not quite loud enough comments regarding whether they "are going to get served any time soon". Well if you insist on waiting till your nicotine craving reach their peak level before thinking to buy more smokes, you really deserve to stand their and live through the withdrawal symptoms. People have been standing in my express line for the last ten minutes, so I am not going to serve you first. And I am definitely not going to serve you first if you want to get individual photos reprinted, that will only hold up everyone longer, you are going to have to wait for your supervisor to write those up for you tog et processed. Cause' if I stop now there will, and I can guarantee it about 15 people who yell at me for serving you before them, seeing you just walked up, and have not been waiting for at least 20 minutes like the rest of the customers trying to get out of the store.
If you guessed that I am pretty narky about the whole Easter thing, I think you may be right.
Its about time I went out, I need to go out, and dance till the wee hours of the morning, which tonite are further away as daylight savings time finishes so we gain another hour. I am pretty happy about that.
