Adventures In Retail... indeed.

Ever since I've joined up with an elite rag-tag crew of professionals and semi-professionals on what I thought to be a mere part-time endeavour -a hobby, for me, really- I have literally seen it all there... And now, I must admit, it can only inspire me tales to tell - minus a few tiny things such as names, dates and places...!

I long resisted the mere notion that such a "side activity" as this would ever inspire my true passion and true noble profession (that of being a scribe) into anything other than doodling rather than scribbling about it. But, obviously, the inspiration is there, too, for me to put it into words - if only bloggety words - at this time!

One thing is for sure: such zany adventures cannot be invented. They can only stem from humdrum normal activities such as taking part in the launching of a new franchise of a reputable mercantilism surface (commonly referred to as a "store") upkeeping it and making publicity for it (which is twice as hard when headquarters relies mostly on word of mouth! But that is another story for another time...!)

As Bette D once said so eloquently: buckle up, babies, for it will be a bumpy ride!

Hey - I was even involved in a car accident after leaving from there, one night, so it sure is true!
