Massively tiring day...

Morning shift at work, and Saturday mornings are always insane. Add to the fact that the most obNOXious seven year old boy tried repeatedly to climb up on the register. I have never come so close to konking a kid on the head with a ham (which I was trying to bag). Thankfully, the brat's father hauled him off and dragged him out of the store; at the risk of shocking everyone, I hope to God that the father whupped the little snot's ass raw. Livia Soprano was right: Kids are no different from dogs. To this, I add: why isn't there a leash law for them?!

((Do *NOT* try to convince me otherwise. Anyone gull enough to believe that all children are sweet little lambs has never worked grocery retail and needs to trade jobs with me until they are cured of their errors.))

Plus, *that* time of the month is upon me. And I finally got to watch a movie I wanted to see for a long time, "Judgement at Nuremberg" (which deals with some of the war criminal trials following World War II), when it was on one of the local PBS stations, but while I was fascinated by the moral ambiguities and twists and turns, that basically finished me off emotionally.

Early night for me tonight...
