Happy Thanksgiving

The “what I’m thankful” blog is a bit overdone (If you read this blog, you saw the pictures from Victoria’s birthday and you know I’m thankful for family most of all). But I did have an interesting thought.

I let the rest of OrigamiRisk know that I’d be out Thursday and Friday at my wife’s sister’s place for Thanksgiving. Usually Thanksgiving comes at a good time. It’s been a long year, work is crazy, and four days away from work sounds great.

This year, I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving a lot. But not to get four days away from work. We haven’t seen Elly’s sister’s family in a while and they are probably our closest family (proximity and emotionally) so I’m mainly looking forward to that. I’m sure I’ll work around the edges. Not because I have to, just because I like it.

I’ve probably worked more hours this year than in a long time, but I don’t feel particularly burnt out. I’m in the middle of adding a feature to allow the ability to schedule the refresh of our already cool dashboard, and I’d really like to get it done before Monday. There’s no particular deadline, just the feeling of accomplishment.

I guess that’s another thing I’m thankful for.
