I am so glad I didn’t have to go to work today.
- I’m really excited for any time that I can be away from the office these days.
Everything around there has been incredibly stressful, and I really need a break from all of the drama. I’m really looking forward to taking some time off and recuperating from all of the anxiety. Unfortunately, that plan is Complicated by the coming Thanksgiving holiday. I’m not very excited for this big national celebration. In fact, I never am. Thanksgiving is my least favorite national holiday of them all. This year, expect it to be even more Awkward than usual. Normally, we all get along somewhat, but this year my brother is especially angry at me. You see, a few years ago he made the decision to go to a 4-year University while I went off to a two-year trade school. He spent those four years bragging about how he was going to make so much money, but this past year I surpassed his income with my meager certified HVAC degree.While he was hitting the books and attending parties, I was learning how to practically work on a modern air conditioning unit. I learned all the ins and outs of a thermostat. I became an expert on maintaining rickety forced air furnaces. I even landed an internship with the best ventilation company in the city. By the time I graduated with my HVAC certification I was ready to be hired. I quickly landed a job with a reputable HVAC dealership while my brother was forced to go back to working at Burger King. I never loved Thanksgiving, but this year is going to be especially cold.
