On Dinners Missed
By Christopher Munroe
I usually work family holidays.
I don’t have kids, and my extended family’s back east, so on
Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, Easter or any of the other holidays requiring huge
family meals, I’ll take pity on a coworker and cover their shift.
They have children, after all, and deserve to spend
Christmas with them.
I don’t begrudge it, though they’re not especially good
shifts. Time and a half, though, and it’s not like I have other plans for the
evening.
HOWEVER: Come Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, or any of the
other “drunken, rowdy douchebag” holidays, I’ll be expecting the favor
returned…
