So yesterday was pretty tiring. We started working at 7 AM and didn't finish until midnight. ANd then we had a two hour bus ride, on which I attempted to sleep in awkward positions. :p
I need to start screwing up more at work. :p Because I keep getting "This section is from you-know-where, so I'm going to give it to you because you've been doing so well. The section in question was the shelf of cosmetics full of all the stuff that didn't fit on the other shelves. :p I also got such evil things as the area behind the electronics counter full of all the stuff that hasn't been set back to the manufacturer yet because they haven't gotten around to looking up the SKU numbers. :p Oh, and a bin of 399 miscellaneous DVDs. :p
The stupidest area I was assigned was a single hula hoop on the restaurant wall. :p
The most annoying thing about being in Zellers for so long is hearing all the in store ad things all day long. :p They keep playing even after the store closes!
Also, the canned music all day long. I've heard Clay Aiken's "A Thousand Days" more times in the past few days than I ever heard it at home with my Clay Aiken fangirl sister!
The other song I kept hearing was that song I want banned from fanmixes, "Wonderwall". Hearing it so much made me actually THINK about the song. With the eternal question of... what exactly IS a wonderwall, anyway? What does "After all, you're my wonderwall" even MEAN?

There's one grocery store that blares canned music and I tend to avoid it in favor of a quieter store that doesn't subject us to any muzak.

Hmm, I don't think I've every been to a GROCERY store that had canned music.
