Retail Hell

I have orientation at Walmart next week and thus starts the holiday retail hell. Its temporary but I may get hired on as a regular associate. I'll keep the call centre job because it pays more and offers a level of security. So it looks like I may be having trouble trying to maintain the therapy sessions. Its good she can see patients on three days a week, but what if I work all those days? I'll cross that bridge as I get to it.

All I want to do today is watch Mythbusters and write pathetic poetry. A sample of such will follow this post. I'm feeling unmotivated. All I want to do is curl up and watch tv. I am forcing myself to not go back to bed and just curl in a ball. Not really sure what is wrong with me. Maybe the dread of yet another holiday season in retail hell. If you have never worked retail during the Christmas season, then you truly have no idea what its like.

And now for your cultural delight, I give you Puppet Master.

Marionett

puppet controlled 

by other hands

pulling strings

and making me dance

to a music 

I don't understand. 

Even Pinocchio got to choose.

But not me, 

always being tugged,

manipulated

into doing things,

saying things that

are unnatural

as a puppet 

on a string.
