Bringing Them Up To Date On The Date

(It is the week before Thanksgiving. I am having a conversation between two of the cashiers. One, despite being a bit scatterbrained, is a valued member of the team.)

Coworker #1: “Is anyone working on Thursday?”

Coworker #2: “Nope.”

Coworker #1: “Am I working on Thursday? I should check.”

Coworker #2: “Honey, Thanksgiving is on Thursday. Don’t come to work. No one will be here. Come in Friday.”

Coworker #1: “Is Black Friday next week?”

Coworker #2: “Yep. It’s the day after Thanksgiving.”

Coworker #1: *surprised* “Black Friday is on Friday this year?”

Coworker #2: “Yes. It’s Black Friday.”

Coworker #1: “Oh… My brain’s not working tonight.”

Coworker #2: “Honey, your brain’s not working any night.”
