It’s New Years Eve and I’m working. No wait, I’m closing from 4 PM to Midnight. Despite requesting the day off, my wish wasn’t granted because even with 10 years of service with the company I am still low the totem pole. The theme of the day is food stamps and alcohol. Many customers would buy cartfuls of groceries using food stamps and then use other forms of payment such as their credit card or cash to buy massive amounts of alcohol. Now how does that work? I was waiting for something exciting to happen but it never came. This New Year’s Eve was a dud, we did the countdown over the intercom in the store and with four people in the store, the result was very uneventful. Courtesy clerk Kyle threw some poppers, you know the ones you throw on the ground to make them ‘pop’ once midnight struck in the store and that was as loud as it got. I was baffled with why he did it in the store because he had to sweep the same mess he just made. New Years Eve at the grocery store was just another day, yay for 2010…

Sounds like your New Years wasnt all too great…I hope you made up for it over the weekend…
I didn’t really think anyone could beat how pathetic my new year was until I read this. Holy crap man.
why didnt you guys pop some bubbly from the beverage aisle? could have made your night a little more interesting
I’m just trying to imagine the indoors fire crackers. Agreed, not the best option. Hope 2010 will bring you happiness, serenity and plenty of creative imagination!

I remember last year I had to work till midnight. Luckily, I was lucky enough to have quite a few friends randomly show up at 11:55 to bring in the new year with me in the parking lot.
In response to your comment, priests DO have sex–at least (married) Anglican priests do. Its only in the Catholic church that you have to take a vow of chastity.
@JStar – Still haven’t enjoyed it…
@Jaime – LOL, you crack me up!
@Genesis – If that did happen, my new blog will be “life from the unemployment line”
@Diane – Thank you Diane, your so kind!
@Christopher – I remember that!
@Erika – I was joking… sorry…
Haha, don’t be sorry… it’s okay!
But yes, priest-sex is awkward. Hahaha.
