For those that can’t stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn’t take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday…)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

    It’s the season I still hate. The Holidays sucked when I worked retail, and back then we didn’t even have to work Christmas unlike many stores now! It’s certainly not better these days, and the amount is stores that are open on the day is insane. We can’t close it even a single day of the year to allow the workers to celebrate with their family and friends!?

    I no longer work retail, but I still see the craziness. Everywhere is crowded, everyone is rushing around and stressed and grumpy and driving crazy. Everything is just bad this time of year…
