Oh God. Oh God.
We pulled straws to see who's working on Thursday. Guess who one of those poor bastards IS?
Yup.
Honestly, it's not the working a holiday part that bugs me. It's not like I was gonna take the time off to go home for just a day after I'd taken the time to do it lately, and Macy's is almost as good on TV as going into the city proper anyway and stuff.
It's more...
The most stereotypical dramatic holiday of the year, and I'm going to be the one wading in to deliver people who've been enucleated by spoons, gotten laddles wedged places you wouldn't even think they could FIT, families torn apart by the visage of sheer resentment that only comeso ut when they are all together, and turkey fryer related injuries similar to those William Shatner spoke about last year, that has since been remixed ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl
Thing is, as funny as that all might sound? It's horrible to look at and be a part of, and that powerless to do much to help people thing...We know what I do with powerless. It isn't going to be good. It's going to be horrible. So completely seriously here?
Please be safe. Follow directions, don't try to kill each other, and for the love of everything that's holy, Valarnet, have a designated driver. Think of your lives, and think about the rest of us this really matters to.
I'd like nothing better than for Thursday to be a night of watching taped Thanksgiving specials from the eighties, and participating in the Trivial Pursuit game we're planning while we wait, or at the least, just the calls from things that people haven't done to themselves. Think about all of that, will you please?
