Bah! Humbug!!!!

Don't know where I am on the fence right now, I tend to get a little down this time of year and a bit angrier. Stores and malls are crowded, folks are ruder. Last Saturday, my wife, Andrew and I went to South Hill mall. It was close to closing, so we split up, she was going to Old Navy to get some shirts for Andrew and I went to Game stop to get a gift card for our nephew. On her way to Old Navy, she passed one of those kiosks that sell that fufu lotion, the salesman grabs my wife's hand and wouldn't let go! She tried to pull away several times until the guy finally let go, she calls me on her cell phone in tears to tell me what happened and then held me back so I wouldn't pummel this jerk! We ended up calling mall security( what a joke.. Paul Blart?) and they called the police. There was nothing they could( or would) do. The officer said because there was no malicious intent, the salesman didn't break any laws, there was nothing the police can do. So! If I am busking, and there's no malicious intent, I guess it's ok for me to grab people and hold them against their will and make them watch magic!!! If I had been there and seen this, I would have put 2 taser darts in this guy. We go back the next day to finish our shopping, we go to the food court to get some lunch, the moment I leave Darlene and Andrew to get food, this same jerk comes to my wife's table trying to make a sale!! Are you F#@$%^ kidding me!!! What is with people now a days!!!
Work is getting a bit rough again, the guy who works my nights off was let go this week. I will be working every night until we get someone hired and trained, as I write this, I am on day 8. Now there is someone here that can work my shift, but he has an "I don't care attitude" now. I am in a catch 22. I can take one night off a week for now, but doing that while working graveyard is useless. I would get home catch a few hours sleep, get up, do family stuff , go to bed at 11pm, get up at 5am am go back to bed at 10am and up again at 6pm. This guy doesn't do anything at night and I am not gonna bust my ass all week so this guy can chill for one night. It's less stressful for me to just work it. As it looks right now I will be going thru the first of the year.
I finally got my Christmas shopping done, I hate shopping this time of year!!! People are rude and it's all me,me,me. I don't know if I'm am guilty of this me, me thing. I went to Wal Mart to pick up a Radio Flier tricycle that I ordered for Andrew, while I was there, Darlene called me and asked if I could look for some Legos. She had been to several places and had no luck. I looked up and down the toy isles for a while and I finally found two boxes of them, one medium box and a small box, almost equal to a large box, they will have to do. After I get these and leave the toy area and head to the DVD section, a woman comes up behind me and says"Did you have to be greedy and take them both" Now when I was looking in that area, there was no one there and I told her that. She insisted on one, the bigger of the two boxes of course. I said "No, I was here first" at that point she blocked my cart and tried to reach in. I pulled back and told her to "Back off!!" She continued to get belligerent, to the point where I felt I needed to pull out my cap stun. I told her to get back or she was going to get pepper sprayed. Really, this woman gets into shopping rage over something like that. And yes with things the way they are now, I carry either a can of cap stun or my X 26 taser. I am really trying to get and stay in the Christmas spirit, but at this point, with the fact that there's a good chance I will be working straight thru to the end of the year, I don't know why. I think when I get home today, I will read "Old Man Logan" again.
