Happy Thanksgiving! (2020 Version)

Hey gang! Man, what an insanely stupid year this has been. Sadly, I don’t see next year being any better. More than likely, I predict it will be worse. And yet, there’s plenty to be thankful for.

Work has never been busier, but I am thankful to have a job. My multi-million dollar company got swallowed by a multi-billion dollar company. So I went from being a big fish in a small pond, to a minnow in an ocean. And then my new company got bought by a $50B company. I think that makes me a plankton in a massive ocean. Lord willing, I survive this new takeover, but in the meantime, I’m glad to be employed.

I’m also thankful that my family, including my elderly parents, and I survived COVID. It was not a fun illness to get, especially on summer vacation. The mild, flu-like symptoms lasted for almost six weeks for most of us. 😑 Thankfully, that was the worst of it.

On the silly front, I am thankful for food and grocery delivery, more so since I can’t stand wearing a worthless mask. It is bloody awesome having someone else shop for me (even if they don’t chose items with the best expiration dates), and someone deliver my groceries to the house. And while having pizza or Chinese delivered has been around for ages, it has been nice to have food securely delivered from all sorts of restaurants in town.

Anyway, I hope you and yours have a good Thanksgiving in America. 😁
