Black Friday

Belated Thanksgiving/Black Plague Friday Open Thread

Sorry for not writing. I had to do a turn and burn yesterday, and the only time I had was to shower, eat and prepare my work tea for Midnight. I’m kinda surprised that we actually had probably the best Black Friday ever. They didn’t enforce the mask rule, but they did keep people in line and limited the amount of people coming in instead of it being the usual free for all. I don’t even know how I’m still awake. I was going to shower and nap when I got home this morning, but ended up doing some cleaning instead.

I didn’t buy anything at work during the sale, but I did do a little online shopping and managed to buy a DSLR camera! I went with a EOS Rebel T7i, and since I’ve been wanting to steam/froth milk more I also in a milk steamer/frother along with some holiday gifts. I still have some more shopping to do, but it will have to wait until I’m more… awake.

That time of the year again

There was going to be a Vlog today, but Bioshock Infinite kept crapping out whenever I tried to Alt+Tab to set it up in OBS classic. I’ll try to aim for next Thursday or Friday, possibly both if I have enough time.

Speaking of time, there was none today. We received a ton of Black Friday freight on top of regular freight that had to be broken down. I remember last year and even earlier this year when a freight load was this large I was either scheduled or requested to come in early. But due to our shrinking numbers in people and hours that seems to be impossible, much like finishing up today. It was impossible, especially with every Tuesday being Geriatric Tuesday until Christmas.

That of course brought in some interesting people persons. There was one old man that grabbed a screen protector for an iPhone 6 and thought it was an iPhone. Another one wanted to know which iPhone case worked for her Samsung Galaxy Sky, and there were others. Between the excessive amount of merchandise and the constant traffic with a bare bones staff it just kind of ate at me. I can’t wait until Christmas just to get this damned stuff over with.

Survival of the fattest: AKA I didn’t get trampled on Black Friday

Now that I’ve regained my energy I felt it would be time to tell people that I survived the Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend. I had to work on both days and as expected it was pretty insane. I got off early on both days so decided to buy myself a couple pairs of boots and finish up on the rest of my Christmas shopping. All I need to do now is wrap everything and send it off.

I didn’t go anywhere today.. I spent the day in bed at the computer playing games on the Steam Controller, mostly Rocket League and even some Ground Zeroes. I had to adjust the sensitivity so that I could aim my weapon faster but all in all it worked perfectly. I also spent some Cinema time with one of my friends watching YouTube videos together. It was great.I stayed in my PJ’s all day and had no regrets.
