Thanksgiving Gluttony
Warning: Today’s post will not add any significant value to your life. This is totally a random collection of my thoughts throughout my six-day Thanksgiving holiday break.
Thanksgiving Eve
“Man, I feel so productive! I’ve accomplished so much today. If I keep this up, I can knock out a few things on my internal to-do list in addition to client work by Monday.”
Thanksgiving Day – Morning
The Macy’s Parade!!!
Made a Black Friday to-buy list for online shopping
Thanksgiving Dinner with friends
Thanksgiving Day – Evening
Catatonic state, induced from over consumption of flightless birds, alcoholic cupcakes, yams and greens…not necessarily in that order.
“Now it’s time to shop…snore…zzz…”
Friday
“Alright, let’s get some work done…wait, where’s my shopping list?”
“Yaaaas! Sales!!! Take all of my money!”
“All of the gadgets I’ve ever wanted are on sale!!! Here’s my credit card!”
“I really should get some work done though.”
“I wonder what’s on my niece and nephew’s Christmas lists, now would be a good time to shop.”
“Man, where has the day gone? It’s almost 2pm…maybe I will take a nap. I can do some work this evening.”
“Yawn…what a nice nap. Now, to work.”
“Maybe I should make some coffee…and eat that plate I made to-go yesterday.”
“That Alison sure can cook; that food was good! Snore…zzz…”
Saturday
“For real this time, I need to do some work…”
“50% off everything online at Express and FREE shipping? Yaaaas hunty!”
“This purchase is business related; that counts as working, right?”
“Merry Christmas to meeeeeeeeee! I’m crossing off almost everything on my Black Friday to-buy list”
“I said I wouldn’t spend more than $XXX, I should probably stop now…”
“Answering one random email counts as work for the day, right?”
Sunday
“At this point, I might as well wait until Monday to do some work.”
Monday
“I wonder if GoPro cameras are on sale…”
I think it’s safe to say that I did not spend my Thanksgiving holiday break productively, although I definitely did SPEND!
