But hey it was either Thanksgiving or Christmas....

Still I am a sad panda.......

Sorry, Jimmy! That sucks! At least you're getting well-paid, though. Hopefully, you can still enjoy the evening after you get off work.

Yes I expect a nice big plate when I come home!

I have the day off this year, thankfully.

I used to request to work Thanksgiving. If I worked 7a-3p, I ate later, if I worked 3p-11p I ate early. And I loved the OT. I don't have the option anymore, though, we're shut down Thurs - Sun.

than be coming down with bronchitis and/or the flu...Which it appears that I am.

I'll make sure to cough on annoying family members if I have the flu...Love spreading the holiday cheer around

Yeah, i did not have that "choice". Since I am new they didn't tell me about this paper to sign to see what hours I wanted on a holiday. So after all the other people who had to work with me on thanksgiving wrote in the morning shift, they stuck me with the afternoon one.....assholes.

Aw, cheer up, buttercup! They'll get there's at Christmas.

My office is closed for the holiday and my schedule is such that (for now) I don't work on Fridays or Saturdays. We're always closed Sundays.

I worked Monday and Tuesday and I have to work today, but then I don't go back until next Monday.

Can I work there? Pleeeeasssse?

Yes indeed, for all those working thanksgiving... or any holiday really, you ARE appreciated. I used to go see my patients in the mental institutions I worked in on those days even if I wasn't required, just 'cause And we'd do fun stuff and I felt much better than if I were wasting my energy on unappreciative, bickering relatives!
