Black Friday...There's no other day like it. Working in retail for the past 3 Black Fridays has been an experience in itself. You would be surprised by the words that come out of some people's mouths at 3:45 in the morning. But what do we think as Black Friday workers when we hear it all? You can only imagine! So, with the help of my coworkers, we came up with a list of things NOT to say to us. Ps. I hope you can sense my sarcasm.

"Are you hiding any other product in the back?"

Yes I am purposely hiding it ALL from you.

"This doesn't have a price tag does that mean it's free?"

Because I have never heard that joke before!

"Are you sure you checked everywhere? Can you check again? What about the back?"

media.giphy.com

Do you want my manager to check too?

"So what's the price with the discount?"

media.giphy.com

Ah, yes. The "human calculator" is in my job description I forgot.

"How long will this sale be going on?"

media.giphy.com

It's Black FRIDAY. Friday is one day of the week.

"If I put this on hold can I come back 4 weeks from Tuesday and still get the same discount as today?"

Whatever floats your boat, SUSAN.

"So I'm shopping for my niece's birthday in April, can I return it then if it's too small?"

media.giphy.com

Love the effort though!

"Darn it, I thought your sale would be better than this."

media.giphy.com

Yes I came up with the sale myself, thank you.

"What about the mannequin? What size are they wearing?"

media.giphy.com

Time to strip the mannequin naked!

"You must be tired!"

I sleep for the following 12 hours after my shift so yes you could say that.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
