Quick Life Update

I have a new job. At Pier 1. Unfortunately, my income is drastically smaller than it used to be, so I can't really take advantage of my sweet employee discount. But some of you might be getting some stylish home decor this Christmas.

One of the funniest things about this job so far is that customers will ask me questions about decorating or entertaining as if I really had some expertise in these areas. I guess that snazzy blue apron is deceiving because I DO NOT HAVE EXPERTISE IN THESE AREAS. Ask me about grammar, and I'm all over it. Literary analysis? Okay. But ask me what pillows you should buy for the couch in your living room, and my opinion is just a step or two above WORTHLESS. So it's pretty amusing to me that people will actually listen to the very much not expert opinions I give them. In fact, in the short span of time I've had this job, literally hundreds of dollars have been spent based on my recommendations. I might have more power now than I did back when I was molding the minds of America's youth. Scary on so many levels, right?
