I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving, and have many things for which you can be thankful. :)

Our NY office staff have two days off (even the ones who are over here).

We don't.

I'm with you - worked through Memorial Day and Independence Day this past year myself, with little to no recognition for it. But, what sucks this time around can give you something to be thankful about in the future. That was sort of the point of my post. Know that at least one of us here feels your pain.
