Default Who?

Who'* gotta work tomorrow? It'* my normal scheduled work day, but we were told today, we are on mandatory standby. 10 other people have to actually go in tomorrow.

Either way, I still get 8 hours of holiday pay at double time even if I don't go in. Today, I got 10 hours of holiday pay because I went in today.

From the looks of it, that whiskey/nog looks pretty expensive. And I'm sure you must drink it pretty quick otherwise it goes bad quick after being opened?

That'* what I liked about Ft Drum. If a holiday fell near a weekend, it automatically made that weekend a 4 day weekend.
