the Holidays?

Let's get the depressing shite out of the way, first. I broke my roommate's computer. It's only superficial (the hinge), but a hassle and an eventual expense. I feel like a massive dumb ass.

On to the stuff that kept me from going ballistic at work today:

1) Co-worker Geoff finds the Ziggy Stardust... CD filed where "Stardust" would fall in the alphabet. His confused experession is priceless.
(Ladies and gents, if you don't know that Ziggy Stardust is a DAVID BOWIE creation, perhaps you should not work in music retail.)

2) Co-worker Paul points out an interesting phenomenon. It's the day before Christmas, and our customer population is overwhelmingly male. Not exactly a shining moment for our gender.

3) Worker J. (me) realizes that we're suddenly out of "Sex and the City" DVDs.
Coincidence?

4) After some minor transgression (such as mis-placing some paper or leaving the toilet seat up), Geoff loudly announces that the next time he sees the transgressing co-worker, he will definitely kick said co-worker in the balls.

(Methinks the real humor in the last statement comes from the fact that Geoff is a laissez-faire kind of guy. Remember the axiom of the Humor Alchemist:

Incongruity = comedy gold.)

Oh, yeah. Merry Christmas, too. Almost forgot about that.
