I've been working in healthcare, acute care for 37 years. In that time, I've worked plenty of holidays. The only perk we had was a free meal that day. Seriously, where I work, we didn't even get time and a half until THIS year! So, maybe that's why they cut the free meal? I don't know. But I'm sitting here at work and went to the cafeteria and they have just prepackaged self-serve stuff. I have hard boiled eggs. That's my lunch. For Thanksgiving.
Thankfully, for me, at least, my daughter will be passing by the hospital soon and is picking me up some chicken strips from Kwik Trip, and will drop them off. (and for my coworker)
