coolenough2's blog post - Giving thanks

I just deleted a big blog that was largely complaining and self-absorbed crap. I got it out of my system.

We had a Thanksgiving meal at work today. I've been told that the reason for having it on Tuesday is that most people don't work on Thanksgiving or the following weekend. Well, the rest of us poor saps got free food, too, so that works. The turkey, however, was ... what's the word? Let's see ... Bad. That's the word. It was bad. In fact, one co-worker told me later that it made her cat sick.

The meeting room that served as our dining hall was all decorated for the holiday. Except the holiday it was decorated for was Christmas. We deduced that having one set of decorations for both holidays saves the company money. But we all got together and ate. We didn't even bitch all that much. I'll be honest, though, as free as it was, none of the food was that good. The thing is, besides the turkey and dressing, people who work there bring in the food. So you expect a little inspiration given the creativity of people who work there. Usually there's a couple of things that you're like, "Wow, who made THIS?" Not so much this year.

I kind of think no one gives a shit anymore. I know I don't.

Despite the food not being good, I ate too much. If nothing else, there was a lot of it, and I'm not used to that. You should see my refrigerator. No, you shouldn't.

But Thanksgiving week is pretty easy to handle, with the free food and whatnot. I'll see my sister and my new niece Thursday. Plus the rest of her kids. She's really compensated for my lack of offspring.

That's it for me for now. Enjoy all the turkey, and happy perving.
