Black Friday

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.
