Looking forward to christmas where I'll eat turkey through awkward conversations with family members I won't see until next year over a holiday whose history we don't care about.

I'll have you know, we 100% don't care about the history of any holiday. The only thing we care about is traditions. Personal family traditions. Those kids better be sitting at their OWN God drat table or so help me...

All of my clients want me to work today. What amazes me is that they're working today. And if they are, then so am I. I guess.

I shop black friday sales but only if they open near normal business hours (like not midnight). If your store opens on thanksgiving, I stop shopping there until January 2nd because I'd rather give my holiday bucks to places that let their employees have a rest.

Same. My Thanksgiving consists of working the night before, barely sleeping, not drinking, then going back to feeding the drunks and stoner teenagers of my town. Oh I also don't get holiday pay.

Because november is way too cold to really enjoy a day off.
We don't celebrate it beyond enjoying a day off/long weekend though.
If I'm not working it's a nice excuse for a wake and bake... gently caress I guess I do celebrate thanksgiving then.

Sorry man. That is a rough life after a year or so. I was just offered a sales position at much more money, but it is mostly travel. I wouldn't do that for any price with a family at home. I was miserable.

I just got done with a ten hour shift and am back at my motel room so I can get up and do it again tomorrow, and the day after that... and every day til at least Tuesday.

I’m very tired and need a day off. gently caress.

E:also holy poo poo there is nothing more depressing than a motel room by yourself, it’s just grim.

I gotta work a double tomorrow too :negative:

Story of my life. Hope you feel better. I always do after some booze. It's the time in between that is uncomfortable. Just don't get in the car and drive after. That's a bad idea, trust me on this.
