Wow, what you must endure. I'm glad I don't have to work in retail any more.

Hubs and I are planning to move back to TN, so I'll have to practice my tongue biting and try to avoid most folks altogether. Our families are so rightwing that we're not even telling them we're moving back! So, we're going to see how just how many years we can keep up the charade of pretending to be 'out of state.' We're moving for the beauty and open country, not the people.
