Me. I have no plans other than working 2 -7. And maybe walking 5 miles home if the weather is still warm enough at that hour. What am I going to eat? Who knows? I might stop at the local IHOP for eggs and pancakes. I have no life. ---

My wife’s going out of town to visit her sister. That’s fine with me, and I’m on a project right now, so I’ll probably spend at least a couple of hours working. ---

My daughter will be working at McDonald’s. She says they’ll get time and a half, so she’s happy about it. ---

I’m a pet sitter. I have pets to check in on in the morning, but that’s it. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > My daughter will be working at McDonald’s. She says they’ll get time and a half, so she’s happy about it. When I was very young I worked at a parking garage that had to be open 24/7/365 due to hotels nearby. When we worked on Thanksgiving we got double-time-and-a-half, so I was always happy to work the day shift, off at 4:00 and then race to my parents to get still-fresh leftovers (and sympathy). Now I’m retired, so a holiday is no big whoop any more. ---

I’ll be working. I have to send next year’s billing adjustments by 11/30 and I have approximately 20 hours of work left to get those ready. On top of everything else that really needs to get done… ---

I thought “It’ll be Thursday, why wouldn’t I be working?” then I realized that **Annie-Xmas** is American. Ah, Thanksgiving. Back in my retail days when I worked at a pet store I told the boss to book me in by myself on holidays. (They usually booked two people in for a couple hours when the store was closed.) It would take me twice as long to look after all the animals at time-and-a-half. Gotta love spending Christmas morning cleaning up shit. ---

Not working Thu. Being senior has its advantages. Will probably work the upcoming Sunday though. And did work the most recent Sunday 3 days ago. I will be chief cook on Thu and that’ll be a bunch of effort. Fun effort, but effort nevertheless. ---

Me, noon to 8. I normally work 3-11 pm, but somebody is having an early Thanksgiving with his family so I’m coming in early to cover for him. ---

Working 10PM-6AM both tonight and tomorrow night. But I have the time in between to take a nap and go see family. 🙂 ---

I will be going to, and be at, work noon-10pm. I guarantee you that no actual work will be done however…unless by “work” you mean watch cartoons/nap/read the dope all afternoon…of course, if something blows up, then there will be plenty of hectic work. ---

Working all day tomorrow, as per usual. All of my colleagues will be at work as well. Oh wait. I’m Canadian. Never mind. Happy (late) thanksgiving to y’all. ---

I am. A co-worker today (yesterday) wished me a happy holiday, and I said thanks, but as long as I’m wearing this (the company) jacket, I can’t help but be happy. ---

I am going to be going in. For the past couple of years, I had been able to head home to celebrate Thanksgiving, which was kind of fun, but I switched jobs this year, and you don’t get your choice of holidays as the new-ish kid.
