Working on holidays.

Recommended Posts

Being self-employed my whole life, I have worked many holidays, esp. the lesser ones. But not by choice. It's simple: I don't get my work out when my clients want it, I don't get paid, and I may no longer have that client.

I did turn down a several-hundred dollar job today because I would have had to work a part of the Easter weekend. I chose to keep my commitment to my granddaughters to be at an Easter Egg hunt and their church on Easter Sunday. Some things are no longer for sale in my life....

I do very much appreciate those who work holidays so that we may have emergency response, hospital staff, and other very vital services, and I hope you make double overtime. In my profession, though, working holidays, weekends or nights is very common and usually not compensated as anything but regular time.
