WHAMMAGEDDON 2024

I dodged it the other day.

I was channel surfing radio stations in the car while running errands with Mom the other day. One of the stations we’ve programmed into its radio announced that they were planning on playing nothing but Christmas songs until the day itself. And Wham would have been solidly in their station’s regular format.

Well, I got Whammed.

I had to go out in order to go to the work party. For some reason they expect me to go and make nice with employees or something.

Whoever the party planners were created a play list, and in the middle of my making nice with the employees...guess what song comes up.

Looks like I'm out.

I didn't expect it to sound while browsing Netflix. There's a Wham documentary and when I passed over it, it played...

I was on easy mode! How could I lose?

I'm out... u.u

I work for a major retail corporation. I started as a shelf stocker and every holiday season I spend a few days of my work weeks in Nov/Dec helping out swamped stores. 9 full hours on Tuesday Christmas music piping the entire time. Not whammed yet somehow.

That's super impressive.. I haven't worked in retail in years, and I'm only now beginning to feel like I've healed to the point where I can enjoy listening to Christmas music again.

When I did work in the stores (20 years ago) I was a backroom logistics guy. We had radios and headphones so we never had to listen to the floor music.

It's the 19th, I'm not trying to avoid it, but I haven't heard "Last Christmas" by Wham yet. I heard Taylor Swift's version, but not the real OG. I'm disappointed.

There is still time left!

Yeah, I was so sure I was going to make it I had stopped trying to avoid it. I shouldn't have let my guard down.

Considering the school I worked at put on a Xmas show this year that I had to manage to sound for I didn't stand a chance, I was out on the first rehearsal.
