Groovy Tunes; Thursday [09/02].
Was there anything worse than your boss unexpectedly dropping in on your shift so that you had to make it seem like you actually worked while you were at work and not just hang around listening to music or goofing with instruments?
Yes. There absolutely was, and that was your boss unexpectedly dropping in on your shift so that she could apparently start decorating for Christmas, which you very firmly did not like, in September, because she apparently thought it was December.
Forget all the trauma that Troy had wrapped up in Christmas decorations because he had been violently attacked by them to the level of clinic visits last year, but then Tisarwat had to go and insist they start playing Christmas music, too, which meant probably having to hear that Mariah Carey song about five million times before the end of the day.
This was so dire that Troy wasn't even going to pretend to be cool about it, looking at Tisarwat with the most soulfully desperate eyes he could muster.
"Tisarwat," he said. "Please. Just...no. You can't...you can't do this to me. We still have several more months!"
Tisarwat just gave Troy one of those consoling sort of looks that grown-ups gave kids when they weren't going to listen to a word they said, which was weird, because she wasn't that much older than Troy, and said, "I think you just need to get into the December spirit, Troy."
"Why would I ever want to do that?" he called out after her, as she walked away, dismissing his appeals entirely to go put more tinsel up, leaving Troy to just look miserably at the stereo currently belting out about rocking around the Christmas Tree.
