For the first time in almost a decade...I am off on Black Friday. Having spent my entire career in the mall, it feels incredible to work for an employer that values work-life balance. I was able to drink on Thanksgiving and enjoy time with family and friends last night without worrying about getting up at the ass-crack of dawn, or earlier, to help contribute to mindless American consumerism. The sky is blue, the sun is warm and I plan on going nowhere near a mall.
