The only time I get a holiday off is if it falls on my days off. And, I

typically end up with 12 hrs. overtime every two weeks, work sundays
too.


One year when I was working in CATV I worked double shifts on
Christmas day and New years day. I was paid double time for the first
eight hours and double and a half for the second eight hours so I made
almost a weeks pay in a single day. Unfortunately, I was working
doubles seven days a week for seven months. It damn near killed me.
