A good birthday

So it was my birthday yesterday. I know, the fourth of July! Most people react with shock and amazement, but I kinda got used to it so its pretty normal. I've spent my birthday al over the world because it's right in midsummer, and this one was a relaxed day at home, with my family. I got a new computer, many beautiful flowers, iPod speakers, pants, and tons of pens and a watch. It was a nice birthday, with a sunny day and a nice lunch followed by my favorite food in the world: ice cream. Then at night there were tons of fireworks and I was sooo happy on my day it was all great.

Today tha fantasy was over and I had to back to work where I had to check that every book in the store had the security tag to make sure no one stole any books, which people will still be doing. On top of that I had to help the most odious old woman ever, who rushed in and shouted at me for half an hour while I showed her every book we had for her grand daughter's birthday she'd forgotten about. She didn't like anything and she kept hollering "You have to find me something for her!" from a chair while I rushed around showing her a gazillion books, agendas, puzzles, and other stuff. I then proceeded to pack what she had gudgingly acceptd to buy, only to have her tell me that the package was terrible and that I should do it again. The customer is not really, but figurativly, always right, so all I could do was throw the paper in the trash and wrap it all again. This time I stuffed it in a bag before giving it to her so she wouldn't see i and complain. After that I had to clean, and I came here to write to my loyal (although also non existant until now) readers. Sadly, I have to go eat, so I'll check back in tomorrow to report on more mishaps of my work on a Sunday that I wish to be home.
