Blitz Day 11/29/2002
Yep, Blitz Day (Wal-Mart's internal name for Black Friday), the name of the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest shopping day of the year. The day you hear horror stories of, from seasoned employees. The day on which all tall tales are told at department stores. The day when $200 TVs are sold at $150. That was today, and at first it didn't seem all it was cracked up to be.

First of all, Nick was here. We were going to go see "Signs" but my mom took Andrea and Amy shopping and my dad had to go into work early so Nick and I stayed here and downloaded cheesy Nintendo games and played them. I had to go to work then.

While I was walking to the back to clock in, I saw Carly wearing a really cool Trunks shirt. I came up behind her and said, "Cool shirt!" She turned around and replied with "thanks" and then I guess realized it was me and smiled. The carts were pretty full inside, and the parking lot didn't look that bad, but Shane said it was because most of the carts were being used. One thing I noticed early on was that I didn't seem to be making any progress at all when I brought carts in. I mean, it seemed like if I did nothing, then the carts wouldn't get any worse, but if I brought them in, it didn't seem to make a difference, either. Anyway, I worked my way from the associate parking to the garden center and found that about 10 carts were in G.I. Joe's parking lot, and about 30 were in the garden parking lot, which is right next to G.I. Joe's. That's the farthest distance from the main entrance of Wal-Mart! Well, needless to say, my back hurts a little from that. But after I filled up the cart area inside, it was my break time. Then guess what? The carts were about 1/3 full inside when I came back from it. So, I did the same thing, and got the carts inside all full and by that time (with customers taking them out while I was bringing them in) it was 2 hours later and my lunch time. Before I got anything to eat, I went over to Toys to say hi to Carly. We are supposed to see the new Harry Potter movie when we both are able to. I mentioned the next Lord of the Rings one and she already has plans to see it with her friend, Nick. I said he always beats me to the punch and she laughed. I guess her department was really a mess, though. I told her I had to go eat and she pretended like I was being mean by leaving. Then she said she'll talk to me later and I said, "Yeah."

I went to Subway and tried a new kind. The meatball sub. It was good, but I like the cold cut trio better. Afterwards, the carts outside were back to how they were when I came in, except there were about 6 carts left inside for the greeter. Great. So, I went back to work and by that time it was really cold, or so people told me. I didn't wear a jacket and people kept asking me if I'm cold, so I let them touch my arm and they were surprised that it was warm. Basically, it felt normal outside, and really warm inside, except my face was cold outside.

On my last break, which had to be taken 45 minutes late due to the time it took to fill up the carts inside from my lunch, Elizabeth wanted me to walk with her on her break. She said she has to go to Hardware really quick, though, but wanted me to walk with her. Well, in the hardware department, she started talking to Mike and then they walked off talking about something, and she really acted like she likes him "that way". But anyway, I felt pretty ditched, so I went back to doing carts. That is about the extent of my day. Pretty fun, huh?
