A lot od stores are going to be closed to customers on Thanksgiving but not totally closed.

Any stores that sat they are closed but still have pick up available aren't closed to all their staff.

I will be working Thanksgiving and its required for all fulfillment employees and managers to work Thanksgiving. Sales floor and other employees could volunteer but I think they get Christmas Eve off or they did last year.

Fulfillment employees don't.

We do get our regular pay, holiday pay and extra pay for working Thanksgiving.

Honestly I would rather work on Thanksgiving when the store is closed than work Black Friday but I have to do both.

Although our Black Friday sales have been up since last Friday except for a few items that will go out on Black Friday.

Oh, I would be mad about that, dcp! I'm irritated that I have to give out my cell # for these confirmation thingies when it's my private number, I'd be super pissed if I had to pay for the texts!

What -t said! I was pissed I had to make space on my phone for an app for concert tickets and that didn't cost me anything but space. I'd be soo pissed if it cost me money!

Uuuuuggggh, Epic. I feel like I've heard of that being an identity theft thing, I hope it isn't too messy for you.

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on my equifax just in case (though I'm probably due to check back in again). The call back I got confirmed that there is presently no claim against my SSN and sent me to their website to report the fraud. Of course, they don't call back or anything unless they need more info, so I won't know for sure that it's taken care of until I *don't* get any more calls or receive tax documents in January. No wonder people were so frustrated trying to make claims during the pandemic - if this is them at non-slammed levels...I shudder to think.

I never got my full unemployment money from the state. I got $100 less a week of what I was supposed to but I couldn't ever get through to anyone so I let it go.

Someone I worked with finally got their unemployment money in Feb.

I've been better at not looking at screens today. I don't like podcasts and I can't really listen to audiobooks unless I've read it before so I gave up trying that and spent the day dozing and just letting my mind wander aimlessly.

Once again, a Thanksgiving classic.

FYI, David, my friend was So Excited about the copy of Swordfishtrombones I gave him for his birthday. Next time you do your tour, I think I can just about guarantee you a couple of ticket sales!

Woo hoo! I'm hoping by next spring.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Have had muscle aches and a headache on and off today. Still managed to get through work like normal.

I'm back in a theatre, actually sitting in tech rehearsals for A Christmas Carol. The last time I was in a theatre for tech was March of 2020.
