Amen, Del, amen.
I worked both Christmas Eve and Day just to make sure younger coworkers with kids and family could spend it together. Work at the hotel was kinda slow and I was actually covering for 4 people at once, so I had just enough to keep me from getting bored. Winter is our slow season and I am still trying to get the general manager to allow me to set up a bowmaking shop in the lobby. As yet, no success.
