Wonder Woman and Adventures in The Workforce (Part V)

This wonder woman had a small realization just yesterday evening:

I was visiting with some friends and an undisclosed ice cream/shaved ice shop when the topics of vacations came up. It occurred to me with startling clarity that I don't even know if I will get some of these upcoming holidays off because of the essence of Wonderland. This ain't no bank holiday gig.

So what is a wonder woman to do? I don't even earn vacation days until working for at least a full 12 months. 12 MONTHS! The sweat started to collect in my armpits (forgive the over-share). I realized I was stuck in one of those terrible rabbit holes. Not the dreamy, oh so fanciful kind that serve you tea and you get to play crochet. The real kind, that have jagged edges and worms. Reality bites.

The search is on. How do you get out of Wonderland?

  1. That sucks! Although our company asked who was willing to work Mon-Wed of christmas week as well :( Do senior employees there get any break from working the holidays, or are they also stuck?
