I was self employed in an industry that closed only on Christmas day for 10 years, 14 hour days 5 days per week, 8 hour days Saturday Sunday........I feel your pain.... and...I love working for someone else now.....do you know they PAY YOU to take THREE WEEKS holidays.....EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!!
(the worst, is thinking about all the things and opportunities/vacations my daughter missed out on during that period.....I don't recommend it to anybody)
