I’ve never participated in the whole black Friday thing because It’s never seemed worth it to me to fight through crowds of morons to get items at discounted rates. Nonetheless, I feel for the Black Friday workers. I’m sorry y’all have to work that night and herd the crowd of idiots fighting each other over deals on stuff they don’t actually need.

Hopefully, an interview I set up in a couple days goes well and I won’t have to work that day.
