So today is Christmas Eve, and I volunteered to giftwrap at the Borders near Old South Meeting House. I wrapped 20 gifts in 2 hours, which averages out to be 6 minutes per gift. (There was a lot of downtime - not too many men buying the desperate housewives DVD set for their girlfriends this year).

I did receive multiple compliments, and am thinking that I'm missing out on a really successful career as a professional giftwrapper. I'm seriously thinking about getting a part-time job in the giftwrapping dept. at Macy's. How great would it be to get paid to wrap AND get the Macy's employee discount???
