I took a position at a low tier (chain) hotel because we had just moved back to the US and i figured it would tide us over until something better came up.

I went one day to check it out, and ....it was bad. The GM showed me around and said I would start the week of Thanksgiving, I went one day and saw what was what and started prepping for the week. When I asked where the staff was the answer was not encouraging (they were non existant).

I actually got up on turkeyday, showered, dressed, kissed the family goodbye and made it about 2 miles before i came to my senses and turned around.

Family was extremely happy, the GM wasn't...It was going to be a shitshow anyway.

Went shopping, called up a couple friends and had a big ol' Thanksgiving meal at home.
