It was touching to attend my 2nd Thanksgiving dinner at PT and Neil's again. Breaking bread with 30 people that I don't know much, but had a great time. A year of Shanghai and still miss the Thanksgiving festivities. I miss waking up then headed out for a Starbucks before watching the big cartoon balloons of the Macy's parade passing between the buildings from my street.
It has been a stressful month. It is only going to get worst in December. My first hotel opening is becoming messier as it progresses. The construction and fitout are subpar, timing for operation set up is reduced to none, the mechanical system equipments are the lowest quality and keep breaking apart, and the Mr Chairman is still insisting on opening in mid December. So, I will be spend my next 3 weeks flying back and fro to the site and try to finish what I have to do. The fact is, I don't even know what I have to do!
This year, I have to be thankful for: (1) Jim is here; (2) Jim will help me to complete my continue education in December; (3) a great boss, who BTW thanked me for my work this year yesterday; (4) actually "completing" my first hotel opening soon enough before I go postal; (5) everyone around me is health and well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
