After a few health scares with myself, family, and friends this year, I'm thankful to have us all relatively healthy, sane, and able to get together to celebrate this year after not being able to get together last year. I'm also incredibly grateful to finally be back to work. The silver lining of the pandemic for me was having an extended furlough and getting a new perspective on life. While losing my job of 15 years was tough to deal with, I couldn't wait for them to bring me back any longer and, after sending in a few applications, found an even better job--one that was pretty much tailor made for me.
I have a four day weekend Thank you to all who work retail and have to deal with the general public. I spent four years working in retail and all I can say is no thank you
And finally, thank you to all who make GA the wonderful place it is. The ongoing upgrades, anthologies, community, and stories make this site so incredibly special to so many people. A simple thank you doesn't seem like it's enough.
