Thanksgiving

Ahh, so what to say about this tradition we have in America of eating large amounts of food as an entry to the season in which we stuff our faces for an entire month or so? I've never quite understood how this is supposed to represent giving thanks, but that's a tirade for another time. It was good. The food was enjoyable, the family reasonable, the dog clean and flea free (thanks to intensive effort on my part). I'm now attempting to turn my attention to the 54th essay of the semester and am having trouble working up any enthusiasm at all. What, 12 pages due 5 days from now? I don't give a damn... Another 12 pages due 4 days after? Screw that... and so on and so forth.

My tummy is grumbling for breakfast (yes, 12:30, shut up) so I shall leave you with an amusing experience from yesterday. When I went to go get my passport 5 years ago, the guy behind the counter refused to let us come up until exactly 10 am, even though we got there at 9:45 and it was obvious that's why we were there and there was no one else around to occupy his time. I went back yesterday, and guess what? Same guy! There were three people waiting for passports, he's working with one and the woman next to him asks if she should take the next passport. He says yeah so she takes the people in front of us. Then the guy finishes with the first people, and even though it's 3:55 and we're standing in line, puts up a "next window please" sign and walks away! Good grief, can you get any more lazy? Watch me go back to renew in 10 years and him still be there, doing the same thing. *Rolls eyes*
