I need a better job.

I was wandering around the mall today, looking at various things of the thingish persuasion (mostly I wanted to see if either of the game stores had any of the games I'm looking for, if anyone had an appropriately sized and "stylish" white hat for me, and if halmark had a sale on ornaments so I could get some for my eventual spaceship tree. Answer was no.)

The folks ringing the bells in the mall had a wish tree or what have you.

Let's just leave it at I need a better job.
