Good Morning Tribe!
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, I was thankful for the night off and I have tonight off too!
Brutal week as always before a Holiday, and my schedule was wonked out again
Started 2 nights at 1AM, 2 nights at 2:30 and the last night at 11:30
Not so bad next week, it’s all either 11;30 or 12:30 start times
Always a problem when management tries to “improve” things, rarely are they good ideas

Good After Turkey Day bmonk! Yesterday was the warmest Thanksgiving on recored for us (not for Nov. 22 but Thanksgiving). It was 74° and the low for the previous night was warmer then the average high! Today is a lot different though, it’s only 42° right now.

We got cold and a trace of snow too—but even a little White Thanksgiving is OK for us.
