V Day on My Mind

Just read a coworker's prayer to get through the next two weeks without killing one or more people. We work at a flower shop and V-Day is the single busiest day of the year. I like to think of our business as a big cruise ship which leaves port several days before V day and docks at the close of the business day on the 14th. The company president is at the helm and all hands (even some extra) are on deck. Yes, it is tempting to vent frustrations on coworkers and customers, and at times my colleagues threaten to jump overboard. After several consecutive long days, nerves are frayed. In spite of the fatigue, I enjoy the "busy ness" of V-day. I enjoy helping people choose a gift for special people in their lives.
