Jun. 22nd, 2005 07:18 amGood Lord. I've become so used to customer abuse I've started to dream about it.
Grumpy guy in dream:"Why don't you have any books about Bolton?"
Dream Me:"Probably because the whole... thing isn't over yet."
Grumpy guy:"It's because you're a liberal bookstore..."
Me:"No sir, we can't sell what isn't out..."
He then proceeds to abuse me verbally. And of course, I take it because that's what we're paid to do.
Then someone sits down and begins to tune a guitar... this is the transition to waking up, the guitar music is from NPR.
And waking to NPR isn't much better: A police officer dies during chaos in Philadelphia between health care activists/biotech protesters and- to use NPR's terminology- renegade skateboaders. Waking up to hippies chanting "Health Care Is A Right! Health Care! Is! A! Right!" I'm not quite capturing their rythmns. Is there nothing these people can't turn into a chant though? "We Really Really Miss Dead Jerry, But Phish Is Pretty Good! Hey Hey! We Really Really Miss Dead Jerry, But Phish Is Pretty Good!"
