My wife worked retail as a side job for several years , and did the Black Friday that leaked into Thursday dance . We ' d have Thanksgiving Lunch , because she ' d have to take a nap so that she could be at work at 6 PM and work until Midnight 2 AM . The last year that she worked there , she had enough seniority that she didn ' t have to go in early , and instead worked a respectable 8 A 430 P shift . This year , I have a pair of relatives that work in the medical field , one that worked overnight , and got off at 7 am , only to spend the day sleeping and his wife that spent the day sleeping so that she could go into work at 7 pm and work the ThF overnight until 7 am . <| sep |> Cream of wheat . <| sep |> But you ' re not stepping into your house . I don ' t get when people wear shoes inside . To me that ' s bringing in street dirt into my carpets . And I have expensive carpets .
