Well, a rant about thanksgiving is probably not that original, but here it goes anyways.
So, wednesday night, I had to work until 10pm, but I didn't finish picking the beans until 11:15, apperantly, we had to pick a whole bunch for thanksgiving, or something.
So I had to drive up to my step-mom's place up in PA, which is supposed to be a 4 hour drive, but I managed to do it in a mere 8 hours.
You see, there was this little turn that I was supposed to take, and I sort of went 150 miles before I realized that I missed it and I turned around. So that's 300 miles that I went that I didn't have to go. But it was OK because on the way back from that 150 mile journey, I was averaging around 100mph, topping out at 115.
So, about 30 minutes before daybreak (keep in mind, I've been driving since 11:15pm, and it is now 6:30am) I get a flat tire. That was fun.
So I pulled over and changed the tire, and of course, I have one of those little spares, so I can only go 50mph for the rest of the trip, which was about 2 hours.
And on top of all that the turkey was dry, and the gravy wasn't that good.
Oh yea, and I left later that night, (it was only a 4 hour drive on the way back, just like it should have been on the way up) because I had to be at work the next day (black friday) at 6:30 am.
BTW, working in retail sucks.
