Nothing like waiting until the last day to communicate the plan for Thanksgiving. I woke up to a text message telling me what time to be there. It was a bit patronizing and I really wanted to reply with “Thanks for finally telling me what time were eating”. But instead I responded with silence thus far. I’m sure I will probably get a phone call but I am not holding my breath. I got the message and will show up for the food. I know it will be the same where we have to eat dinner, then desert will come later because my friend thinks there should be a pause between the two. I however would rather consume all of the food at once, it’s all one meal and I don’t normally pause to eat desert. I mean it happens sometimes but not that often.
Today will be a long boring day where there probably will be highs but mostly lows. Not that many people show up today the bulk of the organization is off and thus why it’s typically quiet. I plan to leave early despite the fact I am at home. Just take the forward off of my desk phone and then watch my email from upstairs. If something pops I can react but once it gets late enough I will turn work email off until late in the day on Sunday. It’s so refreshing to not hear the work email alert tone on my phone.
I was thinking this morning before I headed downstairs, this time tomorrow morning I can do whatever it is that I want. Nothing like relaxing and knowing that you don’t have any commitments, other than going to dinner. Friday or Black Friday as it’s better known in the US I plan to stay home and not go any place. The crazy people are out in traffic. I like to listen to the police scanner but I will probably sleep the bulk of the day away.
My first wave of file transfers to the new hard drive are still going. I need to reboot my system when this wave if finally done. Right now the estimate says more than a day remaining. I think if I had two high speed USB ports available that would help this transfer move much faster. I hate watching this chug along but I’m sure it’s faster than it would have been a few years back but it’s still moving slow by my standard.
No word on shipping of my glasses or the vacuum that I ordered. I am anxious to try out the new vacuum to see if it lives up to all of the hype that was touted on TV. I think the glasses will show up in the next week and the vacuum will lag behind. Warby is usually pretty fast about shipping. I am kind of surprised that they haven’t already dropped them in the mail. I think everything will probably be a little bit delayed due to the holiday and then the influx of mail for the holiday season.
Hope that you all have a nice relaxing and enjoyable day before the holiday. I’m looking forward to some good food. The one thing that I haven’t had in years is Green Bean Casserole. I’d sure love some of that. Take care, stay well and warm.
