My wife is the “general manager” of a the single outlet of a certain restaurant chain here in town, rhymes with Benny’s, and she works every holiday because it is always open. We’ve long since gotten used to having our Thanksgivings, Christmasses and Birthdays on her next day off rather than the actual day. This year it’ll be next Thursday. So…I’ll be blogging through tomorrow, though probably only weekend-style as we won’t be getting the traffic in any case, then I’ll be taking next Thursday off. (Edited for clarity – in the chain’s parlance “general manager” means you run a single store, not the whole business as one commenter leaped to conclude.)
Here’s an extra jukebox to celebrate the holiday, and an open thread for whatever you wish to post too.
This one is for my darling wife, for whom I am truly thankful. Thank you, accushla.
GM @ Denny’s? Are you kidding? Do you have health insurance through her company? 24/7 is fascist. I am amazed that you are the editor as chosen by SPK. Don Henry Ford, Jr would have been a much better choice. This was my home page, no longer.
General Manager means you run a single restaurant in the Denny’s heirarchy, Steelhead, not the whole fricking company! The job pays less than 40k a year and no, she doesn’t get healthcare unless she pays through the nose for it.
Sheesh, how to jump to conclusions…
“24×7 is facist? WTF does that mean?

Thanks for that one Steve…, a Thanksgiving tradition…, and a still timely message. We ALL have to sing a little louder if we want to stop the wars.
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and all Agonistas…, keep on singing.

I am late to the party but great song! Probably the prettiest song that Led Zep ever put out. That was a real dickhead comment by steelhead. I do hope that your wife can find a job with better pay and benefits and where they respect all people. God bless you both!
Thank you, Skriz. I hope She blesses all Agonistas this season, and especially those who like to pick disagreements with me.
