About a month ago I impulsively decided to apply for a job at the mall for a little bit of pocket change and stress.
As quoted in Audrey’s blog, The Rumblestrip, here is a brief description of the torture I decided to put myself through:
I can not find words to describe what it is like to work in the center of the mall during the holidays. It is the most overwhelming environment a human can be subjected to. I work next to Godiva and the Body Shop so there are very strong scents wafting in. It is very crowded and kids have no sense of personal space. There is music coming from everywhere and people’s voices bounce around in the large two story plaza. And there are 360 degrees of lights and advertisements all designed to draw your attention, and every three seconds a camera flash goes off. You would think that your body would be overwhelmed and you would get a vomit-inducing headache. And at first that’s exactly what happens. But after a few hours your senses completely shut down and it’s somewhat peaceful.
That’s what I’ve been up to lately. I haven’t been taking many pictures lately due to the fact that I’m tired of taking pictures after 500 shots of screaming children and Santa Clause.
