16 Thoughts Every Retail Worker Has on Black Friday
Talking Biz News

Black Friday: Its the ironic time of year where millions of people dash to retail stores during the wee hours of the morning to spend hundreds on the best deals, right after celebrating a holiday centered around giving thanks. Black Friday is a time for sales, shopping and bargains for most, unfortunately for those of us that work in retail, it is absolute hell.

Here are just a few thoughts every retail worker experiences on Black Friday.

1. Please don't sass me, I've been here since 4 AM.

2. No, that shirt is not on sale, and no I can't make it on sale.

3. Do I really need this job?

4. I should ask my boss for a raise later because I'm not getting paid enough to deal with this woman complaining about her in-laws.

5. I should be at home right now eating leftover turkey and mashed potatoes.

6. I wonder if any of these people know that we'll have the same discounts going on next week.

7. I promise we have sales all year around.

8. No, you can't return that jacket you've worn without a receipt or a tag and I didn't make the policy to determine that.

9. Why is she so mind blown that we don't do gift wrapping? I'd mess up wrapping the gift anyway.

10. At least Christmas is coming soon.

11. We've been playing Christmas music for two days and I'm already tired of hearing Mariah Carey's voice.

12. What was on this table again? I actually forgot what we're supposed to keep here.

13. Do I really have to fold these?

14. Why do you need an additional discount on a shirt that is already 80% off?

15. Has anyone here contemplated the starving children around the world?

16. These people need Jesus.

Ultimately Black Friday for the retail workers on the other side of shopping are coping with a lot of stress. Give someone in retail a high five this year!

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

1854
Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.
