Black Friday week, wish me luck!
Nov 19^th, 2012 at 7:20am

Gonna be working a 56-hour week (two jobs), most of it at the Apple Store. Which, if you haven't been, is just about the epicenter of the retail universe at this time of year. In fact, both Wal-Mart and Best Buy have declared to shareholders that their success this year will, in large part, hinge on getting enough Apple product to sell. Gulp.

The only thing new about this year will be doing it as a CCHead. Double-gulp.

Let's do this. Smiley

I've worked for the premier overnight express carrier for a quarter century, and this time of year has come to turn my stomach. I detest what it's become.

According to today's Bloomberg report Best Buy is about to become a has-been. If you have stock in Best Buy don't sell it yet....you'll loose big time. If you are thinking of buying the stock, don't.

Stay stressed. Never relax. Never sleep. Ever.

I know I'm a woman and should understand this BUT why in the name of creation would "normally" sane people get up before daylight and go to a store to trample over each other for "fun"?

I've just NEVER understood that one and Never engaged in it.

But then I'm CHEAP .. Caleb and I usually MAKE our Christmas gifts. We put LOVE into them instead of money.

Good Luck with tomorrow and I hope you don't get trampled.. Kiss

What don't kill ya, Makes ya stronger!

I survived! Lol. I setup about 40 iPad/iPod/iPhones yesterday, plus half a dozen MacBook/MacBook Airs. I reset lots of passwords, too. But I got to be part of a little boy setting up an iPad for his mom (surprise!) and a 70 y/o man setting up an iPad for his wife.

I don't know why folks need to shop like this on the day after Thanksgiving, but at least we got them through it with style. I'm proud of my coworkers at Apple.

Aw, that's so neat! I don't work out of the home right now, but it's things like this that make me love working as a cashier. I LOVE helping people! Especially when they are nice people, LOL!

Great job!

I even like helping the grumpers more because when you get through and make them smile, it's like a total win! You wanna be a sour-puss in public? I will make it my mission to make you smile in spite of yourself. Ha, gotcha!
