I work retail , at a mall , and it ' s Black Friday . I work an hour away , so I usually give myself an hour and a half to get to work . And usually , if I make one stop anywhere , I ' ll get in just in time after traffic and trying to find parking . Traffic on the interstate is really , really bad and the curves cause a lot of wrecks with out of town folks . So today , I figured traffic would be terrible and decided to give myself 3 hours to get to work . There ' s an outlet mall between my house and work , plus traveling traffic . I left my house at 915 , stopped and got gas , and was still here and parked in the closest nonhandicap spot to the store ! within an hour . So now I have two hours before I have to be at work . It ' s a first world problem and really not that big of a deal , but dang it ' s annoying . I ' m probably gonna try and take a nap in my car since we didn ' t get home from my inlaws until midnight or so .
