      Exactly. I would reply “Pay me 3x my usual rate and we have a deal”.

        Nope. 2 days extra pay isn’t enough to miss my kids’ reactions when the Christmas tree lights are turned on.

            I bring it inside on the 24th.
            And back outside after the 26th.
            It’s a living tree in a large pot, and putting it inside for too long and then back out in the cold could kill it.

    As a medic and fireman, you spend a lot of your holidays celebrating them with your closest coworkers. I don’t see what the big deal is…

      Are you being facetious? It’s clearly not the same having to work because you’re a medic vs being a programmer or whatever else for a random private company.
