Retail, of course. I work at a large chain retail pharmacy. We never close. In fact, the only day the pharmacy itself actually closes is Christmas day. They do close early on most other holidays though, like tomorrow they close at 2. Front store, where I work, is open until 10 p.m. regardless. Hence why I took a day shift instead of my normal night. No way am I going to hang around the store all evening doing nothing cause it'll be dead once the pharmacy closes.

It helps that I have an awesome boss. In exchange for working Thanksgiving day, he's letting me take Black Friday (and the rest of the weekend) off. Granted, I am using up some of my vacation hours to do it, but still. It's even more amazing that he let me do that considering that Black Friday is also truck day this week due to said holiday. It'll be super crazy I'm sure.

Anyways, I've got my plans worked out, more or less, and our Thanksgiving dinner will be on Saturday. It's going to be a larger than normal gathering, which is nice. So far our guests will be my brother, his girlfriend, and their new baby son (he's so cute!), my uncle and his daughter (she's about a year and nine months, now), my Grammy, and my best friend. My mom's fiance will probably be around too, usually he goes to his ex-BIL's for the dinner part with his niece and nephews though.

Either way, it'll be a good day. What with everything that's been going on lately there just hasn't been time to really see anyone. I haven't even seen my best friend since late summer due to him living an hour away and starting his first semester in college, plus holding a full time job.
