I only had to work Christmas a few times. While at university I had a part time job
looking after the rats in the lab, so I had to go in for about an hour. One winter I
drove a snow plow and was scheduled for Christmas Day. Wouldn't you know.... it
snowed. I ended up working overtime. That worst part was that we got paid for the day
and paid time and a half for working it. So I was making double time and a half. When
the end of my shift came along and I was on overtime I dropped to time and an half, a
pay cut to work overtime :-)
