I recently swore off caffeine, but ordered a Diet Coke. I would not make it through the day without a boost. The caffeine zing sent me merrily on my way to Ala Moana Center. Luckily a parking space was available and the mall was not as crowded as I anticipated. I found many people playing hooky from work.
People just call in sick anyway.
I headed home around 4 p.m. after 12 hours of shopping. I called my boss when I finally managed to get up and left her a message apologizing for not making it in to work that day. Not that she didn't know where I would be, knowing all about my obsession with the toy sales. The savings are definitely a payoff. Most sale items were marked at half price.
