That's just wrong.

The management there says not everyone has family so they need someplace to go. If they're open they can go bowling or to a movie and eat in the diner. His way of making money at his employees expense. We have not had a "traditional" Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day since she's worked there. :( But that's why she went back to school. So she could have those days off.

I hope she can get out of that soon! :(

I took the whole week off, but I'm a half hour short on pto so going to end up going in on Tuesday. So I'm enjoying a three day weekend and then a five day weekend. Having traditional Thanksgiving at my parents house with my family for a couple hours, and then we are going to my wife's family's for the rest of the night, with some Mexican flair mixed in. It's how we've done it for years. I'll be bringing the good beer, and have it all to myself since everyone there only likes the commercial stuff. Going to be so stuffed it's a good thing the kids and I will be sleeping in the next day. My wife, not so lucky. Oh and I'll be busting out the SPC.

My daughter is working Thanksgiving night so we will eat early. She's a nurse though, guess I can't be upset about keeping the hospital open :unsure:

I personally think saving lives is pretty important and trumps dinner.

Plus, when I worked holidays as an RN I received double time and a half. Not bad at all.

Sounds like you've got yourself a great kid.

Hopefully next year she can slap that guy upside the head with a turkey leg.

On Wednesday I'll be going for my 2nd session on my chest tattoo, Thursday will be spent at my girls sisters house where I'll eat some and drink lots. Being a Brit we don't have thanksgiving but I like to eat and drink, so should be fun, I just need to stay away from the Mescal and the moonshine this time......

I need people around so they can tell me the next day what happened.
Last time I wrestled with someone in some of those big giant sumo suit things, I don't remember a thing about doing it, or cracking my head open on a wall when I fell backwards. If it wasn't for the phone footage I wouldn't have believed it....

Grrr you have no idea how much you just made my day by saying that. :D

I've woke up to holes in doors, random bruises, fully dressed, and just thought omg what did I do!?!?!

If we ever hung out we would definitely need "witnesses". :lol:

Sounds like Brits and those of us with Irish heritage party about the same way.
