I work in a grocery store that is open 24 hours. Why do people think that because the store is open 24 hours that the perimeter departments are? Do they really think that we’re going to have hot food ready for them all goddamn night? Do they not notice that these departments are closed up and cleaned for the evening? Of course these are special, special people who should be treated accordingly and I should be happy to go into a department I know little about, unwrap everything and dirty half the shit in the department, and happily serve these motherfuckers. Uh-oh. Dan’s a potty-mouth.

Second bitch tonight. Muzak. Where do I begin? I know that most people have horrendous taste in music. Brittney Spears and NSync are proof of that. You know what? I don’t expect good music in the workplace. I don’t. That would be insanity on my part. Basically, we have the music station programmed to piss off the least amount of people possible. Nothing radical at all. Just the most boring music possible. There are a few exceptions: Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Natalie Merchant/10,000 Maniacs, etc. But most of it is shit. I accept that and don’t expect it to change. What I want is new bad music. Play some different Brittney, different Backstreet Boys, different Christina Aguilera. HOW ABOUT A SONG BY TRAIN OTHER THAT DROPS OF JUPITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE! IF I HEAR “……to the milky way…blah, blah, blah” one more time I’m going to PUKE!!!! PUKE I SAY!!!! The song isn’t bad. I just don’t want to hear it twice a day for the rest of my fucking life.

But I will……every day. By the time I’m 50, I will have heard that song close to 4000 times. And I’m almost 50!!!
