It’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and we are collectively thankful for:

• A half-full parking lot as an amazingly hard-working group of T3ers take time for their families.
• A 3:30 p.m. early release, along with the commitment to finish the work if it runs later in the day.
• A tri-coastal group creative director who said he would be off this week and not checking e-mails and is, in fact, not checking e-mails.
• A well-stocked agency bar in San Francisco, thanks to our media partners, clients and staff who celebrated our new Folsom Street offices.
• T3 elves squirreled away in our studio working on our holiday card.
• T3 bakers who will spend part of their holidays whipping up goodies for our annual cookie festivities on Monday.
• T3 volunteers who have poured themselves into programs to help the homeless through Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF). You can help by texting “MLF” to 20222 to donate $5 and help one less person go hungry tonight.
• A bunch of new T3ers who will be starting in the coming weeks. It’s great to be hiring again.
• Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the cool programs we’ve built to engage our clients’ customers. Go buy something nice for someone special this weekend.
• The nice flood of year-end projects that are keeping us so, so busy.
• The 2010 planning process that shows how clients are balancing smarts with renewed optimism for the year ahead.
• Our amazing clients (long-standing and new) who encourage partnerships, collaboration and smarter thinking.
