I work in an industry that operates 7-days a week, 52-weeks a year. In some instances, this is a 24/7 business, although we've figured out a way to make it a little more humane, and only have to be "on" during somewhat regular business hours.
Call it sun-up to sun-down.
Regular as rain...or it should be.
People crave to do what we do.
They clamor to be like us.
They pay serious money to emulate what we do.
But when there's a freakin' holiday, they all run for the hills.
The least excuse to not have to do any work, they're gone.
No commitment, no passion.
No professionalism.
Pisses me off, no end.
Today was an alleged holiday.
Banks are closed.
Post Office is closed.
Fine.
Whatever.
One guy phoned up two hours before his time and bailed out. Another guy just didn't show up.
That's it--I am taking the rest of the day off.
After all, it's a holiday.
