Summer Va-cay Starts in August

Only 7 Days until school is over and summer vacation can begin. Then I will have exactly 1 month of nothingness before it all starts again. Whatever shall I do w/ my time? I'll still be working 3 days a week, and baseball, but other than that, the world is my backyard? I plan on trying to go biking more, save that the weather permits it.
Nothing much has been really happening. Nothing interesting or even notable. BUT I have hit a new level of irritation b/c of stupid customers. Here is my rendition of a day as a post office slave...

Me: *Serving a customer who just wants 1 stamp.*
Customer: "Oh, are you in training?"
Me: "No"
C: "But isn't she training you."
Me: "No, I'm training her."
C: "Oh, but you're new right?"
Me: "No, I'm training her b/c I've been working here for 4 years."
C: "Oh, well I've never seen you here before...(pause)...and I didn't know there was a store here...(pause)...I didn't know there was a post office here. You should post a sign."
Me: "There is a sign posted, a rather large sign at the very front of the store. And if you've never been here before, that would explain why you've never seen me before?"
C: "Where is your manager, I don't like your attitude."
Me: "Where is your mother, I don't like your stupidity."
C: "Huh?"
Me: "I am the post master tonight."
C: "Okay, but where's your boss?"
Me: "ARG!!!!" *Attacks customer w/ post office date stamp.*
C: ....Can you stamp my envelope for me while you're at it?

Life as I know it in retail. I think I need a different part-time job, someday.
