Happy… wait, WHAT?
Turkey Day, 2008:
First of all, I prepare for the relatives.
Then Chopper starts… HEY! What the…?
That’s right. He’s leaving for work. No rest for the wicked as they say. Also, no rest for workers in the hospitality industry. On the bright side, he’s earning time and a half.
Meanwhile, I decide to entertain myself by digging up Thanksgiving photos from years’ past. Here’s our bird from 2006:
Mmmmmm… bacon.
We do have one thing to be quite thankful for today: Chopper gets done with work at 7pm. Since we figure most folks aren’t packing everything in till nine, that gives us two whole hours to house hop from one relative to the next and pig out on leftovers!
Best of all, we won’t have a pile of dirty dishes at home.
Er, that is, except for all those dishes we left out on the counter last night.
Ah, I wish we could all have time off over the holidays but alas, it’s not the case. I have to work over the Christmas holidays :(
That bird looks awesome – I’ve never tried wrapping bacon around it, maybe I’ll try that for Christmas- it certainly looks delicious!
welcome back, timberous bellies! for some reason I dropped by, I don’t know, just to see – and you are back! horray!
Let’s hear it for time and a half! I didn’t mind working Thanksgiving *quite* so much for that very same reason :-)
@Katie – try it. You won’t regret it.
@zoe – I adore “timberous bellies.” If I need to change my header any time soon. I now know what I’m doing.
@kathy – If you ever do need to commiserate with someone about your employer and working holidays, you know where to find us!
