Thanksgiving Plan’s And Planning

by

I do no planning for Thanksgiving. I am “that guy” that shows up, eats (not very much) watches the game and goes home. We always goto my parent’s best friends house for Thanksgiving. It usually is a big turn out. I don’t have to travel to it. It is only in Queens. I guess that is some travel. I don’t need to plan on anything. Everything is taken care of.

it is not the most glamorous night of the year. We are probably the average Thanksgiving Day “family”. The only thing out of the ordinary we do is, we don’t have a formal sit down meal. It is usually buffet. There are allot of us.

Other planning news is I hope to take off Wednesday. I need a day off, and this way if I take Wednesday off I get a whopping 5 days off in a row. that will be nice. I won’t know what to do with myself. Really, I have no idea what to do with that much time off and no travel.

Handouts

Why is it that there are so many people giving away “free” stuff near the subway entrances in NYC? As of today I am offered a free Metro, & AM NY. Also I get people giving me information about saving some (fill in name of oppressed, abused or unjustly treated foreigners here) group in some foreign country. There is another group handing out stuff, but I don’t know what it is for. I haven’t stopped long enough to find out.

At first I thought this was a problem near Penn station when I got off the LIRR. Then it started happening in Union Square. Now for months I have getting pestered up by my apartment.

Whose idea was it to place annoying low paid people at the bottleneck point of an exit/entrance to subway stations? I know it is a high traffic area, but come on. I am barely making it to work on auto-pilot half awake as it is. Having people mess up the routine is not good.

This is a down side of living in a crowded city I guess. To me is just annoying.
