Happy Thanksgiving weirdoes! Hope you all have a blessed day

I would like some prayers. I am in pain right now. I went to the doctor today for what feels like the twentieth time, for the same pain. He sent me to get an MRI scan but they found nothing. When I explained what the pain feels like my doctor said I probably have tension headaches. He's given me pills but they have very little effect so he's put me on another medicine and says if the pain doesn't go away that I should see a physiotherapist. I've had these pains on and off for almost five years now and they have gotten worse lately. It's affecting my work and my sleep and I just want this pain to go away.

This pain has also made my depression come back, so please pray for that too.
Thank you.

Definitely, Moe.

You people and your "I have off today" *mocking voice*.....

Where is your sense of honor? Where is your sense of duty? Where is your sense of greed?

Today is a the perfect day to get paid time and a half...... GO TO WORK! Ya lazy bums....

Okay, maybe Im a bit bitter that I volunteered to work today.......... just means I hate it today will be happier on my next paycheck..after all, Im getting paid more to do less...... continue on with your happy gobble gobble day peeps.

Yeah, screw that. Even with getting paid double time for actual holidays around Dr. Pepper, I still call shenanigans. Mostly because they don't give you the option of volunteering. They just be like, "You're doing it, and that's that." .... And then the plant manager gets mad later on that we're getting bigger paychecks for it. :/

Too often I feel frustrated about what I don't have, but Thanksgiving is the day for me to stop and think about what I do have, and be thankful for all the good things I've been blessed with.

A big lesson I've learned in life is not to take things for granted. You just might miss them later.

Toro, there was this one time you posted this gif that I found while I was going back through the good ol' days of this forum ... and I gotta say, it's hella creepy.

That's a great point. =) Today should be a day about introspection, and thanking God for His mercy, guidance, blessings He's given us, etc. I was actually thinking of making a thread about that today.

I'll save you some turkey.

Well I was asked if I wanted to. I don't react to well to "or else" moments.
I agreed to it cause now my work day pays more but I actually have less to do than normal and I hate turkey anyway so Thanksgiving has slways been just another day for me.

I'm likely to end up working Christmas too as I'm supposed to get a raise so the holiday pay would be even better on top of the raise ... but I'm gonna cross that bridge when I get there. May just take my vacation time, cash that in and be happy.

Shout-out to everyone willing to put up with going to two different Thanksgivings in one day, especially people with small kids. I have zero patience for that nonsense, not to mention not enough room for that much food.

 

[Multifavs]

Just finished our smaller Thanksgiving meal-we will have the full one tomorrow, and also had a piece of the dark chocolate pie earlier. It was all very good!

Nonsense being small kids?

 

[SarahsKnight]

Well I was asked if I wanted to. I don't react to well to "or else" moments.

Well, of course they don't actually say "or else". It's just that every time they say we're working on these days (and often at the last minute, as I have mentioned before), they sound completely unapologetic, and ward you away from protesting. Like it should just be expected. Just kind of has that "or else" vibe. :/
And again, also like we have (or should have) no life beyond work, so it's never inconvenient to us.


.... Honestly, why am I still here at this place? Keep asking myself that. And the only answer I can come up with is "always need more money", because even with God's generous gift of my grandfather's inheritance, it would disappear all too quickly if I just quit. It'd be gone in a year at the absolute most, more likely six months with the costs of moving that I will incur. And, I guess, there's always that tiny spark in every man's soul that just drives him to keep working, even when the occupation basically sucks.

That's probably the first all-too-proper use of that particular emoticon I have seen on here, Miss Multi.

A Thanksgiving sermon from Charles Stanley. It's very much worth a listen.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans. Believers have much to be thankful for, but most importantly eternal life given to us by Jesus's work on the cross. Hope ya'll had a great day.
