By the time you read these picks I’ll be deep into my busiest time of the year at work—prepping for holiday displays. We always get ready near the end of September for Christmas, but this year will be even odder—less employees thanks to everything going on means more work for us managers. So it’ll be more than a week straight of 12-hour workdays (if I’m lucky) rearranging the stock room, stripping the sales floor, and listening to yahoos complaining about the holidays coming earlier every year. Wish me luck, and hopefully I have a better go of it than I’ve had this year in fantasy Nascar!
