the best and worst of a day in retail

That was quite a weekend

Shopgirlove's people rallied behind her to get her stuff out of storage. LOVE the people! Her apartment is a complete disaster at the moment. Why does she have 500 lbs of books? Who has 500 lbs of books? And what's with the 300 lbs of kitchen stuff? She still wasn't feeling 100% and Sunday broke with spasms and the knowledge that, perhaps, limits had been pushed. So, no concert for Shopgirlove. Divi Zheni performed at NEFFA without her, alas. She was unable to attend.
Also, she hasn't seen Bollywood in, like, forever! That doesn't seem fair, since she really does like him and could use some extracurricular activity. Or at least a cuddle, although King Dutch is going through an astonishingly affectionate phase, so she does have some love in her life.
But today was the first day of the rest of her life--she started her new job! Too bad the air conditioning didn't work and we all wanted to run away and join the circus. For a fairly comesome and affable group of professionals, we were rather damp and cranky by the end of the day. I think 40 f to 80 f is an unsurmountable change for even the most seasoned workers.
Here's hoping tomorrow will be more bearable.
