I'm one of THOSE people. I'm one of those sicko's that get up day after Thanksgiving and shop. Why? Awesome damn deals, man. I don't care about the people, my opinions of them couldn't be much lower then they are now. Ok, I must be off to save the world of.....something impressive I'm sure. Later!

*grin* I didn't do it this year. In past years, I was usually one of those weirdos that was up at 4 a.m., waiting in line and freezing my ass off in order to get the $19 flatbed scanner and $5 Barbies. This year...fuck it. I used to put so much pressure on myself to get big and impressive presents for people on my list (especially the former in-laws) and I just can't/won't do it anymore...

Last year, Chris and I started a tradition of smaller and exponentially happier Holidays. Not putting in 3-4 hours of shopping before going to the office today was my first act of defiance agaist consumerism.

That said, I'm off for my 8 hours of hypocrisy, trying to encourage others to spend...spend...spend like the wind! *sheepish look*

Hmmph. You probably didn't even buy me any porn.

I am so there with you!! I went out at 5am today and got to 3 stores by 7:30. Fun was had. I hope you got some great deals.

I had to work, but if I didn't have to work, I would have been out there with you. Rick went shopping this morning though....I wonder if he survived! O.o

Bleah, waking up early to...shop? I'll pass. I like to shop and all, just as much as the next gay guy, but, I have my limits.

As a retail employee, I just get to see the unpleasant side of 'Black Friday' Rude, greedy, pushy people trying to avoid paying a reasonable price for presents they are mostly getting to compensate for being such asshats to those they claim to care about the rest of the year.

There! I feel better. I got to get some cynisism out and use a really run on sentence to do it! ;-)

Actually it's somewhat entertaining being on the retail side of things. The higher-ups really don't care if we make money or not as long as the sales figures are better or at least as good as the year before. Those of us who've been around a few years just watch the circus, enjoy the free lunch we get, and manage to do as little work as possible.
