Midnite,
I know what you mean about not getting holiday's off. I'm quite used to it myself since my career is in EMS. Over the winter, I ended up working double shifts on Thanksgiving, X-mas eve, X-mas day, New Year's eve and New Year's Day. Being younger and single, I figured I would give the people who have families the chance to spend their holiday's with them. Plus the holiday pay was too good to turn down.
Just drop a msg if you get the chance to go out diving on Monday. We'll see if we can work something out.
Have a great holiday.
Shane
