Today marked my first Black Friday working, and ohhhh boy was it something. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what workers at larger retailers like Walmart and Target or electronics/toy sellers deal with, but overall there was just a huge amount of people that I dealt with today. Nobody was really rude though, as I had expected them to be. I think a lot of people realized that "Hey, maybe these people have been here since some ungodly hour working and dealing with shitty people so I'm not going to be one of them!" It was pretty sweet.
I got sent home early THANKFULLY. I'm not remotely in the mood to do any work, I'm beyond tired out. However, I need to do SOMETHING since I haven't done a damn thing all Thanksgiving Break.

Thanksgiving
Yesterday was long, but filled with food and overall very enjoyable. After eating Thanksgiving Lunch/Dinner with my family and celebrating my cousins' birthdays, I napped for awhile and then my dad and I drove home. My sister and mother went Black Friday shopping last night and then this morning. It snowed a ton overnight.
When my dad and I got home, I went and filled my car with gas. Craving a Starbucks chai, I caved into my protest of the Starbucks where I used to work and went in and got one. It was delicious. I also tried it with soy milk and that was also really good! The craziest thing for me was the realization that a year ago that day I had been working the evening shift on Thanksgiving. It was kinda surreal; I've wiped a lot of my experience with Starbucks from my memory. They had a completely new staff working there, so now I don't really need to avoid going there since nobody there knows me anymore.
When I was officially home I took a long nap/played Kim Kardashian Hollywood because I am an addict with no shame, washed some dishes, then made myself mac and cheese with bacon bits. Overall, it was a solid night.
