I am on my way to The City right now. No, I am not taking a day off on Thanksgiving day. I do not remember when I took my last day off on a public holiday. This is one sacrifice you make when you are working in the hospitality industry. The festive season has begun in New York, and the world over where everybody is geared up for lots and lots of fun. Unfortunately for anybody working in the service trade, this is the season where you break your backs and wear your heads out in making sure everybody is having great fun. On Thanksgiving day, families gather from every corner of the world to dine and pray over a fat Turkey. I know, poor Turkeys. But the bigger, the grander. I will be serving a lot of people tonight. Hopefully the party would wind up in time as planned. I have plans to go out and unwind myself over a bottle of Corona and maybe take a stroll in Central Park if I am not too tired. I have an invitation from my friend to join her family to celebrate, but I think I will skip it. I will be working late anyway and besides, I do not want to intrude into a family gathering.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Lobxang! We are crazed as usual on the Cay. Almost all the homeowners are in & lots of guests. I am already tired after seeing guests from 8am-8pm yesterday plus laundry, cooking, and all the normal life stuff. How's NY?
Hi Lynda,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I can totally understand what you must be going through. Good luck there.
It's getting colder in New York. I am hopping for a White Christmas. Rest, it's normal stuff; work, work and more work :)
