Black Friday!! (Insert Creepy Laugh)

Today is a day that is dreaded by men of all ages and walks of life. While none of you want to, many of you will be waiting in line for hours on end waiting for that bargain gift.  Listed below are 5 things to do while waiting in line. The first definition is the word as defined by the "experts", the second definition is that of WBS, the only true experts. Enjoy :)

1) Plan (Experts) By setting new goals and time limits, you will be able to find a way to continue to reach your goals for the rest of your day.(WBS) Figure a way to get the heck out of line                                     

2) Refocus  (Experts) If you have a busy schedule, use the time that you are waiting to refocus. Go over your schedule for the day, find what you need to do for the rest of the day, and figure out what to do to re-manage your time. If you have a handheld device or a notebook with a list, you can look over what your list has for the day. (WBS)If your plan to get out of line did not succeed, you must gather yourself, refocus, and create a new plan.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. 

3) Organize your time. (Experts) If you have your calendar with you, and have already set your lists, then figure out how much time it will take you to complete the tasks and goals that you have on your schedule for that day. Planning out how long it will take you to finish your tasks of the day is an effective use of time while waiting in line or waiting for an appointment. (WBS) You must find, and I repeat MUST find a good spot to lay down your head. Bring a pillow as well. The only good way to organize time while waiting in line is to nap.

4) Bring along the smaller tasks (Experts) Sometimes, there are smaller things that need to be completed or looked through. If you need to finish a smaller task, doing so while waiting in line is a great time to catch up on what you may have not necessarily have done when the focus was on the larger tasks and goals that were set for the day. (WBS) Bring a nerf gun so you can shoot at any unsuspecting town folk; should make for a good laugh. If you are waiting in the wee hours of the morning you should bring a Luminator to wing in the dark. Be mindful that you must be on guard for sudden light failure. 

5) Re-energize (Experts) If the day is particularly busy for you, this is a good time to not do anything except wait. Use waiting time as a time to calm down, find your focus, and relax. Downtime is always good and necessary in any day that is full of activities and planning. (WBS) Drink Dew; after all Williams Bros. Safaris is a dewmocracy 


Enjoy the lines and try not to kill anyone. We must learn to cope with Black Friday and all other evil brought about by the left wing.
