Im doing fun things like regulatory compliance reports, allocating prepaid expenses, reclassing ferc codes and overseeing inventory reconciliations. Thats why I am here, to get away from the BS. Then on top of all that, I have to run an adult daycare. People will come up with the dumbest crap to cry about. *sigh*

I always get a kick outta watching people pay way too much for stuff on ebay. techbargains.com has some good stuff every so often.

Wow, that sounds fun. I don't like allocating prepaid expenses. Thats what I have to do in my accounting class along with other boring stuff.

You know whats kind of taking up time for me? Waiting for the god damn page to load. The internet connection is very slow at the college. So many computers running off the same thing. Wastes time good.

I usually bring a book to school to read but I didn't today for some reason.

I was reading about Thanksgiving, though:

Like so many Canadian historical events, Thanksgiving was largely determined by the weather. Or, at least that's what E.C. Drury (the premier of Ontario between 1919 and 1923) claimed after Parliament proclaimed in 1957 that Thanksgiving Day would be on the second Monday in October. Before then it was celebrated later in the year.

"The farmers' own holiday has been stolen by the towns," Drury claimed, presumably to allow for a long weekend with fairer weather. Despite his claim, Canadian Thanksgiving has a deep and long tradition.

Before settlers came to Canada the Ojibwa Indians celebrated two thanksgivings. The first was in the spring to mark the rising of the sap and in appreciation for their deliverance from winter and the other to celebrate the fall harvest. The first time Thanksgiving was celebrated in Canada by early settlers was in 1578. English explorer Martin Frobisher, while trying to find a northern passage to the Orient, observed a day of Thanksgiving in the Eastern Arctic.

More recognized as the first Thanksgiving is the Halifax celebration in 1763 commemorating the end of the Seven Year War. Thanksgiving became an annual event in 1879 when Parliament declared it would take place on November 6. After the First World War, Thanksgiving was designated for the Monday of the week in which Armistice Day (later named Remembrance Day) occurred. The Armistice Day Act read:

Throughout Canada in each and every year, the Monday in the week in which the 11th day of November shall occur … shall be a legal holiday and shall be kept and observed as such under the name of Armistice Day.

The holiday commonly called Thanksgiving Day being a day usually appointed in the month of October or November by proclamation as a day of general thanksgiving, shall wherever appointed by proclaimed and observed for and on Armistice Day.

Finally in 1957, Thanksgiving was given its present allocation when Parliament proclaimed it to take place on the second Monday in October.

Very Interesting stuff!
