I decided to start this blog in addition to my "Pen and Ink" blog in order to separate the dullness, dreariness, frustration, and other negative stuff that surrounds my job from the good things I want to write about in P&I - art, writing, food, gardening, nature, family and friends.
Work does give me a lot to write about; retail is rife with subjects for essays, stories, comic operas and nihilistic ponderings. This blog will give me a place to vent, laugh, despair and ridicule to my heart's content without polluting the nourishing stuff that is real life, lived out from behind the counter. Here I can write about PIA customers, clueless corporate honchos, Demanding Twits, Entitled Harridans, Horse People, Ski People, and The Scary Sweaty Psycho Guy Who Wanted to Try On the Silk Nightgowns, among many others.
I will begin by reprinting a post I made this spring in P&I, about a particularly obtuse and demanding woman who was my nemesis for a couple of days in April.
