Oh how good it is that nobody knows this year ...
... the cool shit we sell on Black Friday.
Black Friday. A phenomenon born in the USA, where consumer-mad bargain hunters gather in the huge car parks in front of the enormous shopping centres hours before they open and then trample each other to death when the doors open. Meanwhile, the day of action has also become an integral part of Swiss online and offline retail. At digitec, too, most employees go crazy months before the Friday in November. Not so me. I let everything pass me by with stoic calm. I go about my work as normal. I don't make a face.
Special circumstances require special measures
These are qualities that members of the upper hierarchy like to see. After last year's leak debacle, people with absolute coolness are in demand this year. Me, that is. I alone know which bargains are up for grabs on 27 November. I've been tasked with keeping the list secret. I take such a task seriously, and under no circumstances do I want to gamble away the trust placed in me. That's why I've decided to resort to extraordinary means.
Invisible magic ink, a red seal on the envelope and a safe with a combination that is impossible to guess. What may sound exaggerated to most ears is just good enough for me to hide the list from prying eyes. For me, the right to equality and fair competition are not empty slogans, but principles deeply rooted in society that must be followed. I am not a hero, I am merely a servant of the rule of law.
About the rule of law. For anyone who is now barely able to stop pondering and is on the verge of tearing their hair out and chewing their fingernails bloody, I recommend filling in the national voting documents. It occupies the mind and calms the soul.
My life in a nutshell? On a quest to broaden my horizon. I love discovering and learning new skills and I see a chance to experience something new in everything – be it travelling, reading, cooking, movies or DIY.
