Black Friday thoughts ...

Two quick things about Black Friday: First, I almost always work on Black Friday. I always have. Today is no different. And, I'm assuming, when I get to work, I'll probably be the only one there. Which is nice. No offense to my co-workers, but I get so much more done in the office when they aren't there (they probably say the same about me not being there). Second, I never shop on Black Friday. I avoid the insanity completely. But, after looking at the circs on Wednesday and Thursday, my wife and I half joked that we should go out at midnight and get our son a new scooter for virtually nothing (shhh, don't tell him that's what Santa's bringing him). A couple of other special things are on sale at deep discounts too. So, as I'm up early working on a freelance project, I'm half thinking I might venture out into the insanity today for the first time. Crazy, I know. Anyone else have any thoughts about all this madness?

I went to Walmart and found some things, but the buy-it line was too long (2 hours in my estimation). So I put the stuff on the shelf and left.

They should do better than discourage sales by not having enough registers open.
