Ah, the much awaited Friday is here! That’s a good reason to be in a celebratory mood. What kind of parties are we attending this weekend? Of course, for those who work in the retail field, the work week doesn’t end with Friday. Retail goes on around the clock, Monday through Sunday. Some large chains are even open 24/7. It’s a strange feeling when it seems everybody else is running around on the weekend, having fun, and I’m at work, working..
Can you tell I’ve spent too many years in the retail field? Don’t get me wrong – it can be a lot of fun. Interesting people to work with and to assist. The changing seasons bring in lots of new products for seasonal parties and decorating and these can fun to unpack and ooh and ahh over.
But working in retail creates certain difficulties when planning a birthday party or baby shower. Setting a date that I’m off at the same time as the majority of my guests can be an issue. Planning ahead is a must – no spur of the moment – is essential!
Anyway.. today is the traditional Columbus Day date. What year was it when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue? Happy Friday!
