unhappy thanksgiving

what is the point?

I have to wake up at noon, losing four hours asleep, go eat a bunch of food that I'm not even hungry for, with people that have never bothered to pay US a visit, then go to work at 5pm for twelve hours..

what really is the point of holidays?

 

lol you have a buch of food, a job, and people to eat the food with. its not that bad.

 

fuck a thanksgiving

 

Just another bullshit holiday

 

Its a reason to over eat

 

As I sit here next to my wife at this table full of old people I wonder if it would be inappropriate to go downstairs and play wii with the kids..

And I gotta poop really bad

 

go play wii.its a day to be with family and friends and kids like watching us adults act like idiots.plus youll be keeping them out of the old peoples hair.



for some reason my family doesnt talk to me anymore.and i really dont have many friends.being nipolar fucking sucks.so im sitting home by myself stoned and watching movies.gonna play battlefield3 in a little while.

my landlord invited me to his step daughters but im already too involved with the family.i was trying not become part of the family but failed as usual

 

Do you get paid extra for working on a holiday?

 

at my last job I worked 12 hr continental nights and it worked out that I worked EVERY holiday weekend of 2011. Got double time and a half..worked out to about $42/hr. I quit tho 12 hr shifts suck

 

thanksgiving is bad time

 

When I was working, I was always...let me repeat that ALWAYS required to work on whatever holiday it was that we were working...and I NEVER EVER got a cent more on the dollar (which would usually be minimum wage) that I normally did.

I have nothing to bitch about...I should be just thrilled beyond description of all the many and assorted things I have...bla bla bla

However, I'm not feeling all that nice right now, and thinking of the upcoming holiday makes me want to make an appt with the Mental Health center.

 

totally agree with you on that one. All I can say is try and think of the $$.

If it is any conserlation, I am doing a 10 hour shift today and it is a public holl here as well.

 

i dont know about holiday in general but the point of thanksgiving is dead native americans

 

“Wait, we can not break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims. And especially do not trust Sarah Miller. For all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.”



Happy Thanksgivin' y'all!!

 

Seriously, if ya'll dont like it, just don't participate -- problem solved.

 

I used to volunteer for holidays. The pay's not any better, but it's usually kind of fun and a day that corporate bitches are all off with their families and leaving me the hell alone. It's a good day when corporate is out of the picture.

Only reason I don't volunteer anymore is I don't like having to work around two families' schedules and my work schedule, too. We're closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's day, though.

 

thats a lot of money though.


yo death you still work at pizza place? all the pizza places in my town are closed haha. I wanted pizza for thanksgiving. I think turkey is nasty.

 

sounds like a shitty thanksgiving.


It was definitely my sober reminder, that this was indeed a good free day.
In the meantime, things can go really shitty to possibly somehow boiling over in the next 2-3 weeks for me so fuck, I hope they do.

 

It is but it was a warehouse job and when you have no free time to spend the money it's not worth it. All I did was work/sleep and maybe go out for a bit on my days off if I wasn't too tired. Basically did 14 hour nights because I would get up an hour or two before work to make a huge lunch for the night, + pre work dinner, then drive there 30 mins be there 12 hours and then 30 mins home.
