ROBBIE WILLIAMS WATER TORTURE
Ok, so am feeling fairly blank again this morning as I stare down the barrel of 9 hours at the record store. Which is fine. But this also means that I have to listen to the new Robbie Williams "Best Of" album for NINE HOURS STRAIGHT - again... Store policy. The alternative is to play the new Rod Stewart "Best Of" album over the same time period... Which is just unnecessary cruelty.
The store is also located next to a couple of three-foot high Christmas snowmen that dance and sing "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" all freakin' day. And you get home and all you can do for the rest of the evening is walk around singing "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow", because the language centre in the frontal lobe of your brain has been temporarily colonised by a couple of Christmas decorations. Weird.
The retail environment: Perfecting the art of torture...

You poor thing, I really feel for you. That should be illegal what that shop is doing... it's like a form of brainwashing!
Isn't there something about such cruel and inhumane treatment being forbidden under the geneva convention. If not then i am fairly well convinced that there should be.
The whole unplesant situation could be made in a trilogy of horror movies i am sure too

I _SO_ understand where you're coming from on the musical torture. I once worked at a Christmas store for a month. I got the arse but didn't fight it cause those carols were driving me insane. I could still hear them when I got home and it was supposed to be silent! On the interesting side did you know that one of the carols goes like this:
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from SATAN'S PATH when we have gone astray,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy blah blah blah
I had to do a double take on that one.
Admittedly my shifts at Australian Geographic aren't as long as yours but I think 4-5 hours of the same Slim Dusty CD equals 9 hours of either Rob or Robbie. The Retail Workers usions should be all over this!
unions. Sorry Mel [sheepish grin]
