I will never again rumble and grumble about working on holidays.
The "essential personnel" moniker is more important than holidays. It's bigger than you or I. It rises above the need to spend time with friends and family on days designated by the world as "holidays." It is a position that must remain manned through thick and thin; an important job. Just like the people in the MCC – the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas.
While working on holidays, I will now feel like the crew of Apollo 8 in 1968, as they orbited the moon on Christmas Eve, riding the best bird they could find. Their courage to explore and leave the sphere of influence of the home world inspired the world.
I can always spend time with the people in my life that I love. Everyday is a holiday to be cherished.
And from the crew radhole.com, I close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you - all of you on the good Earth.
MOM LOOK!
