I love the way you love me

At the store, we supposedly have MP3.com running a constant feed through the intercom. Mostly pop, some rock, rap, slight techno-y stuff, stuff that is supposed to put people in a book-buying mood; stuff that make me want to rip my face off. There are only a set number of songs which play, never any diversity, except for the month leading up to Christmas when there was a lot of R & B Christmas tunes. And country, oh god, country. Definitely not any popular artists, either (which, I guess, negates the term "pop"). There is this one song in particular that puts me on the edge of driving sharp objects into my eyes, the song that I quote above, where a Mariah Carey-Celine Dion, striving to be a diva type continues to croon, "I lahhhhhhhhhhhhhve the way you lahhhhhve me/ don't ever leave me, don't ever let me gohhhhhhhhh--ohhhhh--ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh." I can't get it out of my head. There is another terrible one, too, but I can't recall how it goes right now, thank god.
Closed the store last night, had a mandatory meeting at 7 am today, after which we were told to dig through tiny shelves of books in order to find any mis-shelvings. I got through 14, and my lack of deodorant was showing.
Crunch berries, coffee, doral. yum. Back to work shortly.
