Black Friday

Thanksgiving was fun, it was rather chaotic as we fed 18 people. We had our dining room table, 2 card tables and a high chair set up. Family meals are so much fun. All that time to cook (dad and I got up at 6:30am and made the stuffing and stuffed the turkey) and the food all disappears so fast. Chased the demon child from hell around the house a lot, but I actually got him to behave which was better than his mom could do. It was a fun day. Too bad that I had to go to bed at 10pm in order to be able to get up for work today.

Today was my first time ever working a Black Friday today and I didn't realize how many nuts really are out shopping at 5am. I got to the store at like 5:20 today and at both doors that I could see when I parked (out of the 5 leading into the store) there were crowds of people. It was chaos with the managers today, they couldn't find all the radios and then right away people had to have change because everyone was paying with big bills. Luckily I was in Girls 4-6X and plus, so it wasn't that bad until children's got busy later. Luckily most customers were nice, but it was still crazy. After I got back from lunch I got stuck on the registers because with all 4 registers running, the lines were still to the escalator and doorbusters ended in a half hour so we needed to get those people through the lines (even though the cash registers give you doorbuster prices for a half hour after the sale ends to get you through the line). It was nuts. I was freaking tired by the time that I got home and took a 2 hour nap. I'm still drained. Blech.
