re: Shift workers.....dealing with family and missing holidays cause you are working

I work away now, and yes it does get old missing everything. For me I don't really care about the holiday itself, but I hate that my wife has to celebrate the day without me. So far this year I've missed New Years, Mardi Gras, and will miss Good Friday and Easter this week. We have a baby on the way though, so it'll get tougher.
