Man. Two people called out today, and Saturdays are the busiest to begin with, not to mention that the Christmas season has started. So we were crazy busy.

Every. Other. Store. Calls people in when other people call out! For the love of Jesus, how hard is that? Why would you just not call in other people? You obviously need other people or you wouldn't have scheduled that many to begin with.....

And like... it's not a corporate policy. It's our particular store's policy. And it's stupid as ass.

At least I did manage to keeper my new releases, and will hopefully get to price them. But it was a very near thing and the rest of the day was pretty much a wash.

In other news: I am enjoying The Matches. I frankly fell in love with the drummer a long time ago when I saw one of their music videos. All the rest of the members of the band are wearing these really over the top punk clothes and outfits and are thrashing around (especially goofy given that the song is about 99% pop and only 1% punk) punk style, but the drummer is wearing mildly dorky normal clothes and glasses, and rocking the white guy head nod that reminds you of the early beatles the whole time. I love that.
