Why?

oh, black friday, you are a horrible creation of consumerism. i woke up at 2:30 in the morning just to get out the door and eat and be at work at 3:30am, though 'woke up' is a bit of a misstatement because i essentially didn't sleep at all. i fell asleep for a few hours from 10pm-1am but couldn't manage to stay sleeping long enough to get anything resembling rest. the first hour of work from 4am-5am was pure chaos, with lots of customers and pretty much a non-stop line. then it just kind of turned into a consistent, busy day.

so basically it wasn't all that bad.

it was just like a really busy day for the most part, but a really busy day as a cashier in a notable department store filled with impatient customers that generally aren't interested in all of the dumb promotional questions i am obligated to ask them. also, i had very little sleep and worked a 10.5 hour shift. after i got off work, i went to hang out with my wife in the mall at the new lovesac store. it was nice to relax for a couple minutes on weird alternative furniture that i will probably never be able to afford. we had a lovesac store at our mall in california, so this wasn't the first time i've checked it out, but it's cool that there's one here now.

after that, you'd think i would go home and pass out, but no. i went to best buy because i broke my mouse and stole christin's, leaving her with a crappy one with no side buttons. so i got her a new cordless one that suits her needs pretty well. i walked around the store and checked out the 'super sweet deals' on stuff i'm not allowed to buy because we're poor and can't take any of the stuff on a plane to hong kong when we move. it's fun to look, though. i ended up getting back to the house at 5pm and expected to pass out but ended up recording a probably hilarious video. i say probably because i haven't edited it yet, and don't remember most of it.

then i took a nap and woke up in time to raid, which was eventful but not necessarily productive. i was dps for the most part this time, which was a welcome and fun change for me. i need to go and reforge my melee gear and get all mail. ;-P anyway, that was my day, eventful and insane. now i'm sitting here the next day and wondering why i never posted this blog last night. i did get pretty sick over the course of the day and went to sleep pretty much immediately after the raid was out, but i still should've hit 'publish'. oh well, i'm a failure. black friday!
