12:45 on thanksgiving day and I am off to work an 8 hour shift |
|
This sucks. I hate ringing a register for crap wages and I hate that I am missing family time with my boys.
Worst Thanksgiving ever .......~cry~

2. I don't know what to say except I hope you get through the day OK, |
|
and that you get to spend some time with your boys when you get home.

I keep hoping one day we'll get sane about Christmas shopping season (i.e. I don't wanna hear shit about ho-ho-fucking-ho until Thanksgiving is over, thank you very fucking much), but as evidenced by the fact that local radio stations have been playing Christmas music for the past 2 weeks and the fact that the local big box stores started Black Friday a good 12-hours early, I guess insanity is what I have to look forward to.
Chin up.

7. I started a month long shift on a ship in the Gulf Tuesday. |
|
I missed Turkey Day with the fam, but I'll be (like the cheesy song) home for my 8 month old's first Christmas.
It's hard to be away, but it's good to have work and a family to work for and come home to.
My sympathies on working retail today. Been there, done that.
