1. K&R as usual. nt

2. With so many women having to work their shifts, I'm sure many did as we did,

we had thanksgiving dinner on Wed. No way I want to coke and eat all that food and then think about working! Both my husband and I work today (at hotels). I've got a 12 hr shift over night starting at 7pm. He's got a 10 to 12 hr shift starting at 1pm.

Neither of us get a bonus or overtime for working today (they do give him a little extra PTO configurement), but I'm salaried, so nada!

3. This is a Holiday right ?

Why the hell do I have to work? (Why the hell am I still up, its 6:33am)

4. The practical answer to this is

for all murcans just to move the "family thanksgiving" to Wednesday. Then K-mart can have 2 whole days free for everyone to GO SHOPPING. After all, this is Murca!

5. There is a simple

solution to this. We can not go shopping today. As long as the companies rake in $ the practice will continue.

6. We opt out of commercialistic part of today...

.. and feel the pain of those of you that have work today. I have had to in the past, it really sucked. I mean REALLY sucked.
