I had to work a 4am to 4pm shift at Best Buy on the day after Thanksgiving. Otherwise known as, black friday.
Instead of going to sleep, I decided to stay up before leaving for work. I watched a Fresh Prince marathon on Nick at Night for about 4 hours. No regrets.
It was probably about 11 degrees outside when I got to work.
Just by having a job at Best Buy, I fail big time. But I particullarly failed on this day; When the clock struck 4pm, I was so excited to just get out of there. So I began a good speed walk towards the exit,dodging customer after cusotmer, cart after cart. However, one child was not so lucky. Just as I was about to reach the exit, I accidently bumped into and knocked down a little boy. Normally, I would turn around and ask if he was okay, pat him on the back, etc. However, considering the days circumstances, I just said “sorry” as I maintained my stride and never looked back. There wasn’t any blood, he wasn’t crying, I knew he’d be okay. I’d also like to think that the boy understood my situation as well. That I had just endured a day that can definitely be placed in the top 20 worst days of my life.
