What is the only thing that is worse than Black Friday? That’s right, Black Friday Monday. The pain staking retelling of your co-workers Black Friday War Stories. Some Mom will tell you that she got up at 3am for a toy that her 2 year old had to have. The I.T. guy will tell you that he was at Best Buy at midnight for some tech item you never heard of.
Black Friday Monday is here.
What can you do? Short of calling out sick, there is not much you can do. Old co-workers, young co-workers, they will all have stories. Making matters worse is the people who hate Black Friday, they will talk about it as well. You will not be able to avoid it.
Our advice? Grin and bear it. Showing disdain for Black Friday will only bring you more pain. You would be called everything from Scrooge to Unpatriotic. We are all about fighting the good fight. Listen to us on this one though, sit it out. Just realize you aren’t getting any work done on Monday.
Try and act excited that when you hear five different LCD TV stories. Your boss now has a 23″ LCD in his bathroom. The price was just too good to pass up. That is so exciting. Share in his joy.
Black Friday Monday; it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
