I always like to reassure customers who are worried about picking up that expensive kaleidoscope - or showing a toy to one of their children - that those of us who work here (okay, especially me) break more things than all of the customers put together. Here is a photo to illustrate my point. In an attempt to find room for the newly arrived big box of skelemingos, I was up on the ladder, trying to move some boxes without really looking to see what was behind them. Things started wobbling, then several boxes hit the floor. Guess what was in one of them? Happily, they were inexpensive display ornament, not the special ones we sell, but . . . they still made quite a mess. Everything else survived. And I was left cursing my carelessness again. I always think I've learned my lesson and then, crash ! But hope springs eternal . . I will be more careful, I will be more careful, I will, I will, I will !
