Turkey yay
Okay so everyone knows what turkey does to you right??? Some say its a wives tale and others say its because your just eating a big meal, I think its simply because we think if we eat turkey then we will become very sleepy. Usually after I have my turkey day feast I pass out and am in sleepy town for the rest of the night!! So just in case yall didnt know, I work at best buy and of course just like any other retail store we opened at like 5 in the morning on "black friday" ie the day after thanks giving and of course I had the morning shift wich started at 3:30 yes in the am. Anywho, my plan was not to go to sleep til some ungodly hour wednesday and then wake up early thursday pass out from turkey and be able to get a full 8 hrs of sleep befor I got up at 2:30 to get ready for work. Oh how plans of mice and men go astray....my alarm clock that I set for thursday morning of course did not go off and I ended up waking up at like 2 in the afternoon right as the turkey was coming out of the oven....so I was hoping that perhaps the turkey would still make me sleepy oiy it seemed to take the opposite effect i tried laying down multiple times that day and I was just not tired. Finally I got to sleep that night around midnight to only get 2.5 hrs of sleep and have to go to work in this delirous state of mind. Not good when you are trying to get people to buy accesories and service plans. Befor the day was done with I'm pretty sure I had offended a few customers with my mindless blather and ended up getting sent home an hour early. It was basically the funest day I have had in a while because there is nothing more funny than some one asking "Oh does it run on a memory chip" when your trained to know alot about cameras and you are in some whacky state of sleepless ness...I dunno guess you had to be there!

I love how when you say you are going to sleep a certain amount of hours and wake up at a certain time it never goes as planned. My whole thanksgiving break I never woke up or slept when I told myself I would. I don't think turkey has ever made me feel sleepy. Maybe it's because I don't really eat a lot of it on thanksgiving. Working on black Friday must have been really interesting especially since you didn't get much sleep the night before. At least you got off an hour before planned. Black Friday shoppers can be pretty evil.

i never knew about this "black friday" business until this thanksgiving. i guess my family arent much of shoppers. that would be the fualt of my dad. he's cheap and its no fun shopping with him. this thanksgiving, my sister introduced us to the thrill of black friday by trying to get us to go with her to the mall at five int he morning. that is insane. who really wants to shop at 5 in the morning? your too tired to try anything on or actually think about what your buying. thats way too early. ridiculous. im sorry you didnt get your sleep that night, work can be hell, especially when you work in a mall. not that i know, i just assume.
