The day before Thanksgiving and I'm at work.
- Thread starter LowParry
- Start date
I'm working as well, but I'm both working from home and today is my last day of my current job so whatever.
I am also at work. It's totally dead. There is nothing to do and there's almost nobody here. The office is closing early so it's just a half day but I'm dying sitting here. I'm just refreshing pages to try to find something new to read and post on. So thanks for the topic.
Same here. I basically save a lot of my PTO for birthday, christmas and new years, which is all around the same time.

Lot of people usually take the time off. If they aren't using PTO, pretty sure they're WFH.
I don't take off on days like this because it's effectively a waste of a vacation day since nothing's going on anyhow.
I'm off this week, but I am doing a little side hustle work. Three more weeks of work after Thanksgiving and then I'm taking an entire month off.
Same... I mean I'm not American but still.
I'm doing very little work though, just to get into the spirit of things.

I dont think it is for like most people lol. Most are working in some capacity.
Yeah, I'm at work too.
Seeing numerous emails yesterday about Happy Thanksgiving...because I'm off until Monday was kinda irritating, lol. I just chose to not take off.
But...we might get Friday off, wont know until later today.
From mid Oct til Jan is slow for us so I'll gladly take at work vacations. Meeting today at 8am, still waiting around for another one on one meeting and probably wont get any work for today until this afternoon.
I'm not complaining, lol.

I'm trying to take some time off, but we are a small org and the team's paychecks rely on me doing my job well, so I keep doing small things.
At my last job we always had to come in for a half day the day before Thanksgiving. It was a preschool though, so there was always like maybe three kids there because everyone else had started their Thanksgiving break and was spending time with family. It was utterly pointless.
I work from home. Today I hear my daughters cleaning the house (love the distant sounds of toilet brushes and vacuuming!) and my wife is currently singing loudly over My Chemical Romance's Black Parade in the kitchen as she preps & precooks for tomorrow.
It is a little slice of heaven TBH.

It isn't at all unusual for "regular" people, presumably less so for Era's predominantly white collar members.
Me, I'll be at work until at least 10pm tonight, likely beyond that.
its chaos, not only did a ton of folks have scheduled off.....a ton of folks called in. Parts showed up for a ton of products to get repaired, we have crap lying everywhere.
ITS MAYHEM RIGHT NOW.....ABSOLUTE MAYHEM!!!!

I started working about an hour ago and wasn't feeling it, so I decided I'm done for the day since nothing critical MUST get finished today. I'm taking Friday off, so this nice long weekend is starting early.
Half day today, most people are out and we don't have a lot to do. Really just been doing what I would have done if I had the days off, save for a few meetings.
Working all week we're short on qualified operators lol. Dat OT tho
I gotta remember to do this
same but half day today and then off till Monday!! hopefully today goes by quick.. I wanna be at home playing guitar.
I'm in marketing, so this is my busiest week of the year. I'll probably have to work a bit tomorrow as well, just not officially.
