Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for November 28, 2014

I gotta say my wife and her family who are visiting from Coata Rica love black Friday. I stay home and play World of Warcraft.

I don’t think anyone could pay me enough to shop before noon on black Friday. I would never shop on this day except for groceries.

For those who love it (and I know a few), I hope you have a good time. I’ll be working. :-)

Actually, there are studies showing the competition and feeling you “won” something are big motivations in Black Friday participants.

Days like this I give thanks that I am too poor to shop.

We have a new kitty named Andromeda. That’s the name they gave her at the pond and we liked it.

I am surprised that Andy didn’t use her powers. She could have parted those crowds like Moses parting the Red Sea, or teleported to the doors just as they opened, or any number of things.

Black Friday is sheer madness, I refuse to participate. Today my lady is manning a Salvation Army kettle in front of Walmart, and I am making important calls. I may even sneak in some Guild Wars 2 time.

I do have to say while I enjoy the ease and familiarity of WoW sometimes some of the youth does get on my nerves.

Now would be a good time to give Ann a footrub, Jay.

that was the old Black Friday joke: “it was madness, there was pushing and shoving and elbow jabs…hope I didn’t hurt anyone too badly”
