Swimmod_Luna Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Fuck no. I had to work last year on Thanksgiving and hated every second of it. One of the most miserable days of my life. This year I'm gonna celebrate withĀ a nice meal with my family just like I have every other year of my life (excluding last year). I'll be on call but that's just talking on the phone. Any holiday calls are worth double time, plus there's really only one hour out of the day where I'd be annoyed if I got a call (and even though it's a "crisis line" 98% of calls aren't crises; I can always screen calls from the frequent callers <_< ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā SEGA USA wanted to partner up with Sony on new console but SEGA (Japan) turned it down so as a result the PlayStation was born, also there that missed opportunity to partner up with a company called Silicon Graphics a company that went on to help create the N64 and then there was that meeting with Microsoft that went nowhere and a year later the Xbox was born 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
