I missed Thanksgiving... but..... If the weather peeps take care of me I'll get home three days before Christmas... Working internationally, my routine schedule is 13 hours a day, 28 days straight, often working lots of "extra overtime" and then I get 28 days off... With travel it works out to 31 and 25 but who's counting....

Holy crap, those are crazy hours! Hope you make it home for Christmas!

I'm at work today too, but hopefully leaving early. No overtime or holiday pay for me, I'm salaried

You're young, and you have a goal. To buy a new Camaro. The job may suck, but you are that much closer to your Brand SPANKIN' new Camaro. Always remember this,.....you gotta work to make money. No work, no money. I know as well as you do, workin on a Holiday SUCKS. Its just part of payin your dues. Getting the experience and moving forward. Work, learn, and then enjoy your reward.
