Archive for November, 2009

Silent night, holy night..

The time has come. The end of November is nigh, the beginning of December approaching in fast steps.

And we all know what December means: The full awakening of the Christmas Spirit! Christmas decorations popping up left and right, adorning the streets of Vienna. Punschstände filling empty squares, the warm glow of fresh bakery filling the nostrils.

Aaand then there’s the ugly stuff. I’ve already experienced the first wave of weirdo customers who seemingly loose their control and go apeshit on us, and believe me.. it’ll get worse. >_> Crazy last minute wishes, (”It’s the last saturday before christmas, what do you mean you can’t ship my shiny glorious iPhone out in time!? THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHAT THE FRACK AM I PAYING YOU FOR!?”), crazy last minute explaining (”What? What is so weird about complaining about my bill on Christmas Eve?”).. crazy, just crazy (ok, there may be a bit of exaggeration on my part, but the craziness does tend to come).

And don’t get me started on the christmas shopping part. D: I haven’t gone into that particular battle yet, but alas my friends.. I must. :( But until I shall be lost in the rows of warriors, I have to. Do something. Perhaps figuring out what to gift people. o.O
