And so Halloween begins at work

impyWork did not kick my ass last night. Probably because Ms. K wasn't up to going at breakneck speed for the night and after awhile the rain kept people away. Which is good because apparently our liquor license finally showed up. D: Not looking forward to when word of that spreads.
But the highlight of the night? When I went into the stockroom to get another round of totes to put up, I saw candy corn m&m's. Eee! And then I turned around and noticed six huge boxes of Halloween stuff. Upon closer inspection I realized they were the Disney jack-o-lanterns that we always get in and I'm never interested in, but dammit, it's a start! Even closer inspection yielded a box of Nightmare Before Christmas mini glasses (oooh!) and and and Disney Villain plushies. It took a couple of trips to the stockroom to explore that bag properly, but they're small (the size of my hand?) and while I saw no faces, I could ID that of the four, the display will have 1 Ursula, 1 Evil Queen, and 2 Maleficents. It took all my self control to not buy them then and there. Had it been a C week and she'd given me the go-ahead, I probably would've. *cough* No idea how much they are, either. But we're supposed to get an endstand of Disney Villain goodness so that's promising.
I wonder if our new store will get more interesting stuff like the other stores got last year or if we'll just continue to get a strange assortment? Also, will we continue to get Downtown's stuff as they cycle through their promo aisle stuff at crazy speeds?
Seriously, I spent the rest of the night coming back to the fact that we'd gotten copious amounts of Halloween candy in and actual nifty stuff. It made it much easier to get through the rest of the night, though I could've done without the crackwhore coming in and dousing her stuff in knock-off Japanese Cherry Blossom scent and then not buying the stuff. Since the new store never had a wet photo lab, there's no sink and I'd just come back from the bathroom and felt bad asking if I could run away to scrub the stink off my hands.
In other news, my brother called me at work to ask a favor and then mentioned that he's going to swing by this weekend and we shall discuss last weekend and the WTF antics of certain family members. I'm looking forward to this.
