I was sitting in a meeting today that had part of our Global Team from Houston. Only one guy showed up on their side, and he stated that everyone else was out of office due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
I looked around the table at all of the Norwegians and said "I forgot! I'm not supposed to be here today!", and I grabbed the PC and started walking out..........until my manager, who was laughing, asked me where I was going.
I almost got out of a boring 2 hour team meeting, but it didn't happen
Off to the store to buy some turkey lunchmeat to celebrate! Damn I miss the big Thanksgiving meal!
