Ready for this? Okay, let me backtrack for a minute--On Wed. Night, while we were packing up the store, my manager (who has lied to my face so many times, that I've lost count) tells us that on Friday there will be a very big and important announcement and we all need to be there for it.

So I asked her If it will be a happy announcement, or a bad announcement.

She answers that it will be happy, very happy. And that if I press her any more, or ask her for hints, we will know what it is, so just be there.

Now the meeting was supposed to be at 9am today. But yesterday she calls me while I'm in my sick bed and wakes me up to tell me the meeting will be at 8am and the vendor meeting will be at 9am. I tell her I will be there, and ask her which vendor? She tells me she does not know.

So I show up at the meeting today and the topic that could be condensed into one five minute conversation lasts for 45 minutes. The first 15 minutes were used to tell us how lousy we are doing and that we all suck.

So the meeting is about to break up, when I ask the bosses, what about the big announcemnt? My manager tells me that was it. I look at her, and said, no, you said there was going to be a veryu big, very happy announcement. At which point she looked right into my eyes and said she never said any sich thing. And the two co-workers who heard her say the original announcement did NOT back me up.

I love retail.

I didn't get home until 11:40 am. Half my day is shot.

And I have aticket to see Dr. John at BB Kings tonight, and I still feel like crap. Oh, and another thing that sucks? Tonight is also a perfect lineup of my favorite Burlesque Artists at Corio at the exact same time as the Dr. John Concert.
