hail the conquering hero!

HELLO BLOGGING WORLD! guess what time it is? (don't look at the what time this was posted thing either. guess) wrong! it's six bloody thirty in the morning! you must be thinking "Kate, why are you up so early on a long weekend?" Answer, I'm not. because "being up" implies that i woke up this early. I've been awake since 10:30 thanksgiving morning. From midnight till 6 a.m. i was working Black Friday at Things Remembered at my mall. you can feel sorry for me now.

Allow me to explain this experience to you (while i'm still exhausted and it'll probably sound funnier than when i'm sleep sober!)
First, i drive up the parking lot. and there are a BUNCH of people. Two lines waiting to get in at midnight. So I creep around to the employee entrance and a security guard says "Who are you with?"
Me: "uh. . . Things Remembered."
Security Guard: "Who's your manager?"
Me: " uh . . . . Sarah Campbell."
Security Guard: "ok." *opens door and lets me pass.*
My thoughts: What the heck? Is it that bad that I have to have a secret code to get in here. what kind of people sneak into the mall on black friday. (crazy people that's who). Turns out mall employee's let their families in early. Cheaters.
So I helped my boss open the store (my feet smell really bad! thought you'd like to know that. I just realized that as I was typing.) the store is quiet and peaceful. and then.
midnight.
there is a sudden rumbling sound coming from the direction of the entrances.
It's begun.
The best way I can explain this is with a video. 

Sarah and I decided that this is what the zombie apocalypse was going to look like. (I like how i go back and forth from being too lazy to capitalize my I's. next i'll give up on spelling.)

So people shopped and were crazy and then when i had to pee around 2 a.m. from my Monster energy drink! i saw the Hollister store. You know those really sexy Hollister models on the bags that are sucking face with the other attractive models. Yeah, they were standing outside the doors in shorts and nothing else. Huge pecks, yummy biceps, perfect abs. (The more tired i got the more attractive they became.) it was rather degrading to think that this is what our society has come too. But from a store that literally has two people making out on their bags, I can't say i'm surprised.

And. . . . that's all i remember. there was a lot of Monster going around and a lot of peeing, cause my bladder is the size of a pea when it comes to caffeine. BED TIME NOW! if i can. that second Monster hasn't exactly worn off yet. which is why I'm writing this blog post. . . I'm really dumb guys.

don't go shopping on Black Friday. It's dumb and all the employee's secretly hate you. the only shoppers i love are my friend Angela, Chandler, Erica, and Kaylynn. For coming to the mall at 12:30 to make my day a little brighter. I love you guys!
