Thanksgiving and Work

I was going to say tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but technically it's Thanksgiving now since it's after midnight. I plan to post more later in the day, after I've had a few hours sleep, but I've just got home from work and doing a little blog checking and posting now. So anyone reading this now: Happy Thanksgiving! The next few days especially are going to be rough. I work in retail and everyone knows what the day after Thanksgiving is like. I'm lucky that the place I work at is closed on the holiday itself, a lot of retail establishments are starting to open on Thanksgiving itself. My last place, Service Merchandise, opened on the holiday. I remember one lady coming in on that day to shop and commented that it was so terrible that we had to work on Thanksgiving Day. Well, you know what I wanted to say to her: that if people like her wouldn't go out and shop on Thanksgiving Day than we wouldn't be open, but I smiled and thanked her and went on about my business. I predict that we will be opening on Thanksgiving before long, it's getting harder and harder for stores to hold out when everyone else is opening around them. No holidays are safe. It's really a shame.

All this means that if I disappear from posting now and than it's just because I'm overwhelmed at work, not that I'm vanishing for good. The days can get awful long and sometimes all I want to do is come home and go to bed, so we'll have to see how things go on a day to day basis.
