T minus 6 and counting
Nov. 21st, 2015 11:57 amThis is my non-weekend weekend, as I don't have a complete day off. I worked M-F last week, had a store meeting today (only about an hour, but I still had to get up and get dressed and go, and also speak), and I work tomorrow to help get ready for Black Friday.* I will get next Thursday, Thanksgiving, off, which is good, but I still feel a bit grumpy.
So naturally I'm spending today baking stuff to bring to work for our Black Friday potluck. ( Lots about baking and cooking under the cut )
In things that aren't about food, I have a free movie ticket that I got when I went to see Spectre. Anybody have recs? I'm thinking about Labyrinth of Lies, but it hasn't gotten great reviews. I'd love to hear from anybody who's seen it.
I still need to watch London Spy. I'm scared that I got my hopes up too far and will be disappointed. (No spoilers, please . . . )
And I need to work on my Yuletide fic.
And now, I think it's time to go and shape the bread.
*Black Friday, for those of you outside the US, is the day after Thanksgiving; this year it's November 27. It's the official start of the Christmas retail season, the day when stores roll out their biggest deals, and the busiest shopping day of the year. Many stores open super early--not the one I work at, thank heavens--and it's almost invariably crowded and hectic. It is not fun for people who work in retail. I don't see how it's fun for customers, either, but people want bargains enough that they keep showing up for it.
