uberreinigerWe had a pretty awesome Thanksgiving. Mel made the best turkey I've ever had - and I don't just say that because she's my wife. We started cooking dishes Wednesday night and didn't stop until guests arrived Thursday evening. My folks brought wine and I got to play some L5R against my dad. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinkfaeriestars came along with her daughter and a generally nice time was had by all.
Then I had to get up at 4:30 this morning so I could go to work for Black Friday. My boss waaay overscheduled the place. Once our initial rush was over with he really could have sent a lot of people home as it was a situation where we were kind of tripping over each other. At one point in the afternoon I asked him to give me an assignment and the reply I got was basically doublespeak for "walk around and look like you're busy."
After work I actually braved the eye of the maelstrom itself. That's right, I went to Best Buy! Surprisingly it was the first pleasant Black Friday shopping experience I've ever had. I even bought a gift for someone else. Hee hee.
This weekend is going to be a gruelling marathon of work, but eh. Whatever. It's going to mess with my plan to get a chapter of my main novel editted/formatted each day until it's done, but if I make up the difference on my days off I think I can still make it under my self-imposed deadlines. Wish me luck!
