We don't run production on the Friday after Thanksgiving, all but one of our accounts are closed on Friday, yet we have to take a vacation day for that day. :rant:

The pilgrims wanted us to shop on Friday so that's why Thanksgiving HAS to be on a Thursday. Nice try, but it is the way it was meant to be. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a real American.

It would be interesting to see reports on productivity for those who do have to work on Friday.

Yeah, the couple times I have had to work the day after, it was like a vacation day at the office. I didn't mind. Got away from the family.

I see your point. I remember hearing that Jesus wanted it on a Thursday too.

So I am supposed to be at my dad's side Thanksgiving thing right now.

But I can't find the invitation and it's at someone's house that I've never been to so I don't have the address. And I don't remember what I was supposed to bring. I know it was something like "napkins" or "bread" because they surely wouldn't expect me to do what they told my sister to do: Make 25 pounds of mashed potatoes. Which she is doing (angrily) right now. I know this because I called her to get the address and she ripped me to pieces.

So I called my mom to get the address. She was busy and asked me to call my dad to get it.

I think I'll just stay home.

There's something to be said for having an 850 mile buffer between you and family members.
