the pre-and-post thanksgiving day thread

**** it, let's all move to sweden!

Funny you should say that. My wife suggested the same thing just last night. You have no idea how tempting the idea is. If I spoke swedish, I'd probably be packing already.

You´re all welcome, and you know the word snus, that´s good enough....


Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving



:wink:

I have the impression that most Swedes know English. You'd have an easier time I suspect in Sweden than a Mexican that comes to the USA.

Even though i work in the food service industry (steak house cook) i've got thanksgiving off. I'm excited for the fact that i get to try something i've never had before. Garlic and herb leg of lamb; wasn't feeling turkey this year.

Lucky. I'm working Thanksgiving to have Christmas off with my kids. That's the only holiday I will have had off all year. Not to sound pissy (I'm not, its just 3 am and I'm getting ready to go into work), I knew what I was in for when I chose food service (theme park-beats the crap out of the hotel I worked at), its just hard to develop some of those holiday family traditions with my kids in this business.

I can sympathize, minus the kids and family (i do have a girlfriend that i know i'm going to marry though). Something i've constantly run into is that people who have never been in the food service industry don't recognize that when most people have off with their families, we are working and providing the meals and service that they go out to enjoy with their loved ones. Most of the times my 'weekends' are in the middle of the week; if i get two days off in a row that is. I can't remember the last time i had a traditional weekend.
