Black Friday is pretty much the best day of work. Skipping around the hallways, no calls, no emails, no Q’s. I think it may be just me, Maryam and her daughter here today. I’m the boss today too. :D That means I get to tell Maryam what to do … more or less.
Why aren’t I working from home? Well, if I did get a defect to work on, it would be impossible to do it at home. RAD over VPN is super laggy. But I woke up early today, got here early, so I will leave early.
Tonight we celebrate one year ’till Rachi and Chris’ wedding! Wheeeeee!
Thanksgiving was pretty crazy. We were supposed to have Thanksgiving #1 at Bryan’s parents’ last week, because his brother got a job with Apple and he’s moving to CA. Well, turns out that he moved today, so they moved Thanksgiving to real Thanksgiving, but only after I invited my family to our house for Thanksgiving. So Bryan went to his mom’s to say goodbye to his brother and I hosted my family at our house. Everyone but my aunt and uncle were late, but once we got all the food heated and put out the right number of plates and stuff, things went pretty smoothly.
Except the dogs. Buffy, as you know, has developed a dog phobia. Cruiser is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet, but Buffy didn’t care. He is a dog and therefor something to be feared. He tried to make friends and Buffy growled at him. He was so upset. Buffy spent most of the evening trying to avoid him while still looking cool and being where the food was.
Everything was delicious. I made veggies, salad and pumpkin ice cream :) MB and Tom brought two enormous cakes and a pie. I had a little bit of both cakes. There is much cake leftover that we plan to bring to friendsgiving on Saturday. I also want to make something else so we’re not just bringing unhealthy leftovers. Haven’t decided what yet…
We missed you here, Lissy – and sorry for the confusion, but there has been plenty of that to go around the past week or 2! Looking forward to Friday –
Haha I love really slow days at work. They’re the best. I wish every day could be like those days. Oh well.
I am glad you had a nice Thanksgiving and that the food was good.
Light work days are always a blessing. Nothing like the occasional kicking back, although I personally don’t think that I can take too many, lest I get restless.
Belated Happy Thanksgiving. Glad you had a great one!
Did you have to work Black Friday? Or did you choose to? I love slow days though, holidays are the best to work. But sometimes you’d need a break. :P
Oh wow, congratulations to Bryan’s brother on the job!! That means chances are, you’d be coming to California one of these days, right?! :P
Even though I don’t have a full time job yet (next year I will!), I can imagine what it’s like to work on Black Friday. I love shopping when it’s the weekdays because all the school kids are at school and people are at work :D Unfortunately I won’t have this luxury when I start working properly next year.
Sounds like you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Pumpkin ice-cream, interesting.. I’ve never had pumpkin ice-cream before!
Sounds like a great day at work. :D My mum loves working on holidays of any kind, not because it’s quiet (she admits it’s boring) but because she doesn’t have anything else to do and doesn’t mind the pay! ;)
Hope you get around to finishing the leftover cake :B
