Well, I just finished my work week, and I just don't understand people anymore.

Our store had decided to open 24/7 on the 18th of December til December 24th.  Well, the people who shop in the store at 3 am are something else!  Every single night this week we have had people show up in their pajamas and shop!  I realise we're situated in a very safe area of the city (not like there's a whole lot of dangerous areas in Ottawa to begin with, but still) but wandering around in your pajamas?  It reminds me of an old Dilbert book (Casual Day Has Gone Too Far) where all the employees are walking around in bathrobes, in costumes and in the buff.

Apparently, this wasn't a surprising development to some of my coworkers.  Some of them told me how its the big thing for high school students around here to wear their pjs to school on a regular basis.  And I thought the fashions back in my day (the cool cool 80s) were odd. 

I've gotta wonder, is this a trend anywhere else?  I mean, I know Ottawa has been having unseasonal warmth for this time of year - there's not even a whisper of snow on the ground yet and word has it we will have rain for Christmas - but is anyone else out there around the globe seeing this trend?  Or are the people of Ottawa going insane?  :shock:
