shop

heading up to duluth until monday.

today was my last day at the shop.

ten things i will not miss about retail:

1. having to wrap presents for strangers
2. biting my tongue when they ask if i have taken off the price tag before wrapping
3. pointing out that we do not have a public restroom
4. refolding the same pile of clothing over and over
5. trying to think of gift suggestions for strangers
6. looking up prices for items
7. answering how late the shop is open
8. people throwing money on the counter
9. cranky coworkers
10. having to schedule my life months in advance

goodbye to working weekends!

have a happy, happy holiday weekend.

As a recovering long-time retail slave, I hope you are enjoying the sweet relief of being released from your shackles of "customer service".
Welcome to the world of wide-open weekends.

Enjoy Duluth!
