No turkey for me
It is Thanksgiving here on Thursday and work pretty well packs up tomorrow lunchtime as people lock themselves indoors to eat their way through deep fried turkeys - watch for the news on Friday telling us that people have burnt their houses down because they were doing it in their garage because it was snowing.
No turkey for me, not for a month or so anyway, I'm leaving for London tonight. Managed to get a flight for $399 but will fly home (I'm calling Chicago home, scary) on Tuesday and not Monday which was my preference as I have oodles on here at work. The reason for this? The $1,901 difference in the price. I'll never know how they work that out.
I will do the normal running around catching up with as many people as possible. Chelsea I think is a no no as I will see my son the weekend. So my season ticket will remain idle although I think my brother will make sure it's used.
As a side note, I am wearing my St George cuff links today. No reason. But our graduate, sorry Rotational Development Program(me) Associate, who has more degrees than you can shake a stick at, just asked me why I was wearing Swiss flags on my cuffs! America is the only country that you can go to school (often at great expense) for 20 years and still not know a flying fcuk about the rest of the world.
