Cellophane Craziness!

Work was actually [gasp: horror] fun today.  Well, it almost started out badly, when the first thing the floor manager had me do was, surprise surprise, take out the trash.  But then, Sandy, one of the visuals managers latched onto to me and I was left happily wrapping products in cellophane for the rest of the day.  We wrapped things like candy thermometers, grilling forks, a book with tongs set, bundt cake mix with glaze sets, and tied them all off with pretty beige ribbon.  I had cut one a bit too short for display purposes so I tied it into my hair (yes, like a cheerleader) and some lady walked by and said, "Oh, cute ribbon!  It looks like a William Sonoma ribbon," at which I replied ,"It is a William Sonoma ribbon."  Where else would I find ribbon that said William Sonoma on it?  So it was all fun with the squeaky sounds of cellophane, except then, they changed the "day" to end at 1 o' clock, because a stupid truck didn't come in, and there's really nothing to do till it's in.  So from what I hear, some poor guys have to work tomorrow night and then I get to come in and hopefully NOT take out the trash on Thursday.  O, and sadly, I have to work till 6 on Friday, poo.  That's when we're doing sales associate training.  That's not a fun way to spend a Friday...
