I feel bad for them that they didn't have any plans for Thanksgiving.

You could pay me 4 times the rate, I'm not giving up the holidays with my family and friends (if I was awarded it off).

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for!

I hope the holidays find you were ever you wanna be.

Happy Festivus!

I got a robo-call for a green slip yesterday. Too bad I live 1,000 miles away from ATL.
