The day before US Thanksgiving doldrums

my mom's house is kinda lonely without any kitties tho. :-(

Jody that stuffing looks delish!!!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but we're living abroad this year and so the kids have school. It's a totally normal day here. It's a weird feeling. On the plus side we strolled along Boulevard Haussmann last night and gazed at the grands magasins, all lit up with Christmas displays in place, with people selling roasted chestnuts. It was marvelous. So I think it will just be a different kind of holiday this year.

guys what about day of doldrums

I spent nearly all 24 pre-Thanksgiving hours in airports and on airplanes. Phwwwwwww.

Someone needs to revive a ridiculous thread so I can type stupid things for a couple of hours instead of pretending to work in this ghost town.

I haven't heard any chatter about leaving early around here, so I'm just going to work extra slowly to avoid having nothing at all to do at the end of the day.

paper clip necklace anyone?

came back from lunch with coworker, another coworker asks "why did you even come back?"

Thanksgiving pot luck at work. I'm not friend of turkey but had a striking conversation with my boss' curry mashed potatoes.

i'm doing a lotta work, slackers

And we give you thanks.

i am resizing jpgs ad infinitum, my eyes are going to fall out of my head

wine bottle's low, watching for the snow

it will delight you to know, Ned, that I gave your librarian colleagues some work about an hour ago.

sorry, i'm leaving too. but now i have to go to penn station, which is going to be hell on earth

it will delight you to know, Ned, that I gave your librarian colleagues some work about an hour ago.

When we are recording tonight I will have things to say.

"work" = "HI! I was notified that my interlibrary loan book arrived. Can you...?" "Sure."

So far in my big day of just watching movies, I've knocked down ... one and a half.

i'm going to be working on a big freelance thing throughout the holiday, so rah. however, i am currently roasting turkey drumsticks for the collard greens i'm bringing to a potluck tomorrow.

I just killed 30 minutes figuring out how many Pearl Jam concerts I have been to
