Friday After Thanksgiving

If I had to have a lithmus test for any job, it would be the Friday after Thanksgiving test. Do you have to work (or take vacation) for the Friday after Thanksgiving? If so, your job would fail my test. On my first job after college, we had to either work or take vacation. To me, this is just plain wrong. It is poor for worker morale and must be a low productivity day. After working the first two years of Friday Thanksgivings, I decided that my next job would be evaluated using this criteria. My first job had a commitment of four years (however, by the fourth year I was the boss and gave my department the day off). Since then I haven't worked one, nor will I...EVER.

I hope you get to have a day of freedom this Friday.

P.S. Don't forget to stop by Cromwell on Saturday from 2-5 for Amanda and Bubba's open house. Of course if you have no idea who I'm talking about, you probably don't need to come.
