    It's Christmas!

    So today (December 25th), Bossman was standing next to my desk, fiddling with his phone and trying to figure out some event dates.

    Bossman: "What...what day is it today?"

    Yeah, he needs a day off.

    That's when it's time to pull out your best "British urchin" accent and say: "Why sir, 'tis Christmas day!"

            My sister once worked for a guy who ran a charity (small local one). He was fairly religious himself. One day in December while working on the schedule for certain events they took part in, he asked my sister if Christmas had come yet.

                Very likely. He was the workaholic type.

                    Okay...
                    I just had a customer purchase a GIFT CARD last night, and the situation reminded me of a story my sister told me.

                    Picture it, Christmas Shopping Season two, three years ago...
                    My sister, N., is the Manager/Receptionist at a local day-spa. She's making the place money money money by the pound selling gift certificates.
                    Then THIS guy calls.
                    N: You wish to purchase a gift certificate for an all-day "The Works" package?
                    SC: Yes, please.
                    N: That will be $___, Sir.
                    SC: Can I pay OVER THE PHONE WITH CASH?
                    N: *facepalm*

                            Illegally, of course, since it qualifies as "fishing using explosives". Setting off the mine without killing yourself in the process is left as an exercise for the moron in question.
