It's the biggest holiday of the year in the US tomorrow. Yet today is still a working day. I'm sure I've talked about this before, but in years' past we've received an e-mail saying we can log off early in order to enjoy the holiday. But nope, nothing today. And nothing like this for quite a while now. Which is a shame, because it doesn't take much effort, most people are not doing any work this afternoon anyway (I certainly wasn't) and it just goes a little way to showing that management cares about it's employees. Instead, my distrust of new management remains (I don't know whether this is a Chinese thing, or whether it's something that goes all the way to the top) - as does my opinion that the work culture here has significantly worsened compared to how it used to be. Nonetheless, a few extra days off work is always welcome. I don't have plans to do much - I certainly have no intentions to do a load of Black Friday shopping (apart from staying up late tomorrow in order to try to secure a Lego USS Enterprise). Instead, I'm just going to try to take it easy, not think about work, and do some chores around the house. Exciting stuff right.
