This is the one where I pitty you.

Category: Uncategorized

I pitty you if you’re at the office right now.  Or if you’re in the classroom.  Or if you are required to be anywhere right now.

It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving; today is a day that we should be relaxing.  This is a holiday just as much as yesterday was.  But there is a trend in this country where employers and schools are requiring their minions to come in for duty today. Here’s an AP story, and here’s a story from Florida about this disturbing trend.

Life, liberty, property, and the Friday after Thanksgiving off.

I had breakfast this morning with an old co-worker–that I’m going to miss the hell out of when I move, and then I built a website for another friend’s church (http://www.newvisionoc.com).  Now I plan on settling in with some junk-food lunch while I watch Project Runway and Grey’s Anatomy.  Beats the hell out of working.

    Stinks to be at work, but at least you found time to cruise the blogs. Did you bring turkey left-overs for lunch?

    Nah, but I had a plate of leftover sides for dinner.
