*grumble* While I like a day off as much as the next person, my department is setting up for their big Sales Rep conference next week, and I can't be there January 2, because my company's declared it a holiday. I'd love to help out and maybe take a day off in a week or three, but since I'm hourly, and the rule is "hourlies get triple-pay on holiday work shifts," it's a no-go.

Grumble. I'd be fine with just normal pay, or even work off-the-clock and skip some time next month. Frustrating, it is.
