Huh? (SM)

Sounds like someone soured the milk!  You CAN be in this profession and not work holidays.  Not all MTs work Holidays -- that may be an eye opener!.  The point is, if that is what was agreed when an MT was hired, the agreement should stand and by the way, I was not out "shopping" - I was spending my valuable time with my family, who deserved to have their mom available.
