I went to work on Friday and got blasted with this realization of holiday horror, and on SuperHeavyRotation to boot.
Not once every four or five songs, like normal, but more like four or five Christmas songs to every normal song. Ugh.
I really feel badly, because I know so many people actually like this time of year, but I have been in retail long enough that I associate the music, especially the really crappy songs they play at my store, with, well, the store, and the job, and the claustrophobic clusterfuck of mercandise that threatens to swallow me whole everytime I walk into my backroom.
And it's not just THAT the music is playing, but it's also the fact that we have about seven versions of each of about seven songs. I get tired of hearing Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Reindeer every five minutes.
I try to block it out. I just think it's a bit early to have that much music going on. It seriously makes me want to shoot myself every time I get in my car at the end of my shift. (I'm not much of a Christmas person anyway, never was, probably never will be.)
Ok, rant over. Here's the question... Is there any way possible I can survive another holiday at Meijer without going crazy? I had the doc increase my prozac, but not sure how much that will actually do to make it easier.
