BFF.

Nothing much to say. I miss my bestie. Where are you, bestie?

Normal.

My day off today consisted of the following:

I awoke, got up and took a nap, then played World of Warcraft for hours on end. It was awesome.

Things are looking better with my current situation, but it still makes me a bit crazy sometimes:

Hm...

I could use this free time to reflect on my year thus far, since it's almost over, but I think I will just use this time to say that I am freakin' DONE with the semester...

And so after three years, I am single. There is no other way to say it. I'm not going to get all immature and say that she was a bad person, because that isn't true. She wasn't at all; quite the opposite.

The next few days will definitely be an eye opener for me, though. You would think that since I was the one to end the relationship, I wouldn't feel bad. Once again, that isn't true.

Friday.

Daaaaaayum. Talk about a busy day. I'm surprised JCPenney Huntsville did not experience a couple of black eyes to go with its Friday.

But what makes me sick the most about Black Friday? Not the same deals you'd find at our store on a typical Saturday (at least the signs were green... no clue why). It isn't the ridiculously early hours, or the non-stop, repetitive Christmas music. Hell, even customers adding to the sky-rocketing demand for an item of great shortage doesn't bother me. No, none of that. It all pales in comparison on how retail corporations can manipulate the public into thinking that the item on sale for Black Friday is the must-have item EVER.

So Wal-Mart has an HDTV for $250 dollars. Great! But is it really worth the hassle? Especially considering that Wal-Mart maybe... MAYBE has a total of five of them on hand? Oh, and how about a microwave? Apparently the deals on the microwaves were so good that an elderly lady in possession of one, and this is a true story, was KNOCKED DOWN and had the microwave taken from her cart. The microwave was taken. From her cart. It wasn't even paid for. The lady must've been about 80 years old. Again, true story. Apparently state troopers were called out to the scene for either that, or something else. I don't know the whole story; just the gist.

At least nobody was killed this year.

I'll probably never see a deal like that considering that every Black Friday I work, it's during the hours of the door-busting deals, but let's not throw personal grudges into this. Who the hell came up WITH Black Friday anyway?!
