Thanksgiving Day

It may be a bit cliché, but we can't help ourselves.  It is Thanksgiving week.  And despite everything we all seem to be worrying about these days, there is still so much to be thankful for.  As you've probably heard one of us say before, everyone at IQ Services is thankful for our great customers and for the company environment that encourages us to do the best job we can for those customers.   But we thought it would be fun to ask our colleagues what they are personally thankful for this year.  Here's what we heard:

Kristy - I am thankful it's a 3 day work week!  And for people who open their hearts and homes to abandoned and abused animals.

Mike2 – I'm thankful this year for good health throughout the whole family.

Gary – I am thankful for the soldiers who are spending this time away from their families.  May God bless them and their families and keep them safe and at peace.

Mike B – Mostly, I’m happy just to be here, and that the kids & families are in good shape

Cheryl – I am thankful for my wonderful family.  They are caring, loving and most of all supportive.  Not too mention, they haven't kicked me out of the house for taking up playing the drums!  

Matt – I am thankful for family and friends.

Evan – I am thankful for life, love, and happiness.

Shan – I am thankful for the fact that even though my son is 6 going on 12, he still calls me “Daddy.”

Jim J – I am thankful for my family and the opportunities I have had because of the country we live in.

Marla – I am thankful for husbands who do housework, 6-year old daughters who love the Vikes & birthdays that fall on Thanksgiving.  Happy 19th David!

Mike3 – I'm thankful for the good health of my parents and my brother and his family.

Steve - I'm thankful that I have loving family and friends to share my time with.

Dave – I'm occasionally thankful for amusing SPAM subject lines.

And since two of our best natured colleagues weren't available for comment, we thought it would be fun to create fake statements of gratitude for them – comments in line with their character (hopefully they will be thankful that we were thinking of them):

Suzanne – I am thankful for the chance to visit my daughter in Chicago so her chef boyfriend can treat me to 4 days of great food.

John – I am thankful for fast cars, tire gauges, turtle wax and a dog named Tobey.

We hope you have a lot to be thankful for this year too.  Happy Thanksgiving!
