re: Check in here if you're working today

My Dad just retired after 43 years with the railroad. Worked many Christmases growing up until he had enough seniority to get off the rotation, but even then would pick up a shift after we celebrated for the holiday pay. I worked a few myself when I worked at a group shelter and we had kids who wouldn't get picked up by family for Christmas. It does suck but you do what you gotta do.
