Shibby, black friday is the day after Thanksgiving, when everybody and their mother (and aunt and cousin and...) go Christmas shopping.. There's crazy deals a lot.  It's called BLACK cause its the day that the stores are supposed to get pushed out of debt and into the black..  You get?

I'm going skiing, i already got all my christmas presnts/birthday presents and i bought most of them.. I just will get a bunch of money otherwise..

Meh I cheat wherever I can, like rounding up photos of my buddies dog to put in a frame and call that a gift, or pics of us together in our crazy adventures. Also memberships to hiking clubs and stuff are pretty cheap.(AMC)

Just have a cool boss who enjoys family and the holidays. Plus I work in a packaging factory so no walk in customers or retail type shopping goes on where I work. I also get 3 weeks paid but now I'm just claiming, I have been there almost 10 years though. ugh

I think it's black friday because the extra business helps put business' in the black(which in bus. terms is good) unlike business' in trouble which are in the red.

You just owned yourself. Awesomeness. haha

I'll be at work from 8-5 doing my usual as any other day. I remember when I worked retail and had to be into work at like 4:30 and didn't get out until 5pm. That sucked.

I would never ever consider going shopping on a day like tomorrow. I do all my x-mas shopping on a weekday morning the week before christmas. It's always dead as the people who would wait 'til then are usually in work themselves.

ll be working at target too. at least at our store we have to refer to it as "green friday" because they think black friday is a racist term or something. im glad to see im not the only freeskier working at target.

ill be buying a PS3 at 5am at circuit city

They had them on woot.com for that much and only $5 shipping.  Hardly any of the deals are worth it.  You can find pretty much the same deals on the net or even better.  For example, I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XTi on ritzcamera.com with 2 lenses for $700 and I get a free photo printer after rebate.  Best buy has the XT with 2 lenses for the same price but the camera isnt as good.  I think the zoom lens at best buy is better but I would rather not wait in line for hours in the cold just to get an inferior camera.

Exactly.

Plus the Zunes on woot.com were refurbished, which have a LOWER failure per unit rate than brand new ones.

You can generally find the same deals ALL the time online if you dig a little, without the massive hassle and insanity that is "Black Friday"

i guess they call it black friday meaning the day after thanksgiving being the biggest retail day of the year, but its called "black" friday cuz stores supposedly start turning profits on that day and go out of the red and into the black ink, as they say.
