felis_lupusI do love my job. As much as I whine sometimes, and as much as my boss irritates me (and whose doesn't?), it really is a good place to be. My co-workers are awesome, I get to play outside in the sunshine (and the rain... and snow...), most of our customers are really wonderful people (though there are some that I'll run and hide from), and it's generally a fun time. We're playing with balsam tips, making wreaths, and selling Christmas trees. All things that make people happy. We've started playing Christmas music inside, but it's all nice instrumental, classical-type carols. No loud choruses of 'Jingle Bells' yet, and probably not at all. I control the music, for the most part, so we listen to what I want. muahahaha. :)
There are some definite perks; most notably at the moment: Fresh Flowers. We've got a pseudo-floral department... not really enough traffic most of the time to justify actually having flowers on a day to day basis, so we're basically available for weddings, and special orders (at least 2-3 days notice, please!), and we do arrangements for holidays. When the arrangements don't sell, and are about to go past their "good" time, we get to take them home. :) My apartment is full of flowers at the moment. There were lots leftover from Thanksgiving, so I got to play floral designer when I got home tonight. There are velvet-red roses in the living room, sunflowers in the kitchen, and three perfect 'Circus' roses in a bud vase on the table. (see photo... I love them...) I have purple and white carnations in my bathroom, for goodness sakes! Is wonderful. Now just need some sunlight so I don't have to use the flash to photograph the beauties...
