With American employers being so tough, why not have it on Friday and have a long week end? I'm thinking of all of those poor hung over bastards having to go to work on the Friday.
Context of sympathy: New Zealand is known as The Land of the long white cloud. Australia is known as the land of the long weekend.
Having Friday off after Thanksgiving is becoming more and more common in businesses other than retail. Even the doctors I tried to make appts. with are closed tomorrow.
I work from home doing the bookkeeping for a maid service. The office is closed tomorrow but a couple of the teams are going out to appointments as they would on any other Friday.
