nobody has both Wednesday and Friday off, so nobody can travel far for Thanksgiving

Do people not travel on the day itself? Back when there were direct flights to Jamaica I'd fly in on Christmas morning sometimes. It wasn't heavily travelled, but all of us were supremely smug.

That's how we ended up traditionally doing T-day on the Friday, leaving Thursday open as a travel day.

I did not realize the East Coast has storm warnings! Be safe y'all.

And miss the Macy's parade? What kind of philistines are you?

I actually don't have strong feelings about being with family for Thanksgiving (despite the fact that we will seat 9 tomorrow), but I am pretty pissy about the Christmas situation. My mother won't travel for Christmas, but she will probably come out after. But then I won't see my sister or brother.

My store is going to be open 6pm Thursday -Friday close straight. Some people like me are doing split shifts and others are doing straight 12 hour shifts. The decision to open so early wasn't made until the first week of November.

Personally I've seen stuff on FB about staying home on Tday and not shopping and normally I'd share that but I don't feel comfortable doing that.

I'm working Thanksgiving day, which isn't that big of a deal for me - my family is all out of state and Will didn't celebrate it much growing up so it's not a big deal. And his technically Canadian so he jokes he had his Thanksgiving already.

As far as I know there was no option of having Black Friday weekend off unless you were a part time worker who was also a student living on campus or campus affiliated housing that shut down and thus had to go back home for the holidays.

Teppy, for the green bean casserole, just make sure you reserve some of the onions to go on top. I didn't realize that the first year I made it and just put them all in, and then realized I didn't have any left to put on top!

I just made a co-worker mist up by giving him cookies. I think he thinks I'm a much nice person than I think I am, but he's been having a crap few weeks (12+ hour days) and I guess the little stuff helps.

The big stuff would really really help, I'm guessing.

YOu know what doesn't help with getting all the cooking done, including what I didn't do last night as planned? SLEEPING UNTIL 11:30!! Ah well, I do love sleep.

coffee done
non-homemade cinnamon roles done

now I think shower, store for the few things I need and then pie-apalooza, with bonus side dishes.

Airline personnel work T-day - all transportation folks do. I just don't like the spread into retail. I will not shop.

My boss just claimed I promised to tell her something I have no recollection of. Ah well.

Update: Union Station does not smell of SpaghettiOs. It's a little oniony.
