You know what's worse than Christmas for stores? Easter...Now you may be thinking "Hey, that is false, Christmas is the time of year where everyone buys stuff so naturally its larger and earlier than Easter..."

False... At least where I live.

As a checkout chick (and proud of it ;p its such an easy job for my wages). Christmas advertising/sales start november...Easter stuff? Meaning Easter eggs? New years day...What's that Cadbury? You want us to buy your crappy overpriced chocolate bunnies in January? Jesus is great and all but I'm not sure if your celebrating his second coming that much. Seriously, the Christmas-> Easter transition takes place over a matter of DAYS rather than months and it scares me that people do actually buy the stuff...Regardless of the fact that Easter branded stuff costs at least double what normal stuff costs and its not even celebration time!

Having said that, at least they don't play Easter songs 24/7 like they do clich

possibly the start of migranes. Is there this little blur that no matter if you close either eye, it's always there? If so, the main "culprit" behind it is chocolate, but caffeine is up there too.

No, because there is a distinct lack of Thanksgiving songs in the world. :p

I would say it is most likely a minor migraine, as I get the same effect combined with constant unconditional pain every time I get a migraine. I would suggest taking an Excedrin or something if it happens again.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Christmas is still a full month and a half off.

Rant:
I hate how fast food restaurants screw up people's orders. I go there, expecting some food that will fill me, but I'd rather have some actual, quality food, but this is all I can afford that I have time for, so I guess I just have to deal with it. Burger King isn't too bad (in comparison to McDonalds, anyway), so that's where I go. I order a medium Whopper meal with no pickles, onions or mustard (picky, I know :P). They give me my 'order', and it has all the stuff I asked to not have, and they give me a large fries and large soda, which I looked on my receipt, to see if that's what they charged me for, and sure enough, they did. So, I got the wrong order, and was charged an extra dollar or so, which isn't much at all, but still. :|

I kind of remember it, but it wasn't the greatest even then. VH1 has good interviews sometimes, but that's about it.
