text: who has to work the day after thanksgiving day (friday), or even the weekend, and at what place of business.? nope, not me.   i'll be home watching high school football all day on friday and saturday and sunday are pretty much wide open for myself.   i might do some housecleaning or something else indoors.   i won't be doing any shopping or anything too far away from the house with all of the places being crowded and everything.   after all, that weekend is the biggest shopping weekend in the world and i'm not a big fan of the whole crowd scene, so that's not good for me. my husband has to work the day after thanksgiving and it's a diesel truck repair shop. i myself do not have to work then or ever on weekends, i'm a substitute teacher..........there is no school on weekends or holidays...........that, my friend, is the only benefit of being a substitute teacher. the pay sucks. the job can really suck, you know, how'd you treat your subs? being called to work at 5am sucks. never knowing what comes next, that can suck. walk a mile in my shoes... don't get me wrong, i love the flexibility and the never having to work weekends or holidays. thanks for asking.
