<HTML>I've been terribly overworked lately and I was thinking, i will never be able to have holidays or random days off in december as long as i remain in retail/publishing (it's company policy not to be allowed Holidays in December, I will have 2 days because i am going to Portugal and i booked them in july)
Are there any other professions where you can't possibly have holidays at certain times of the year?

<HTML>very good point, but when you teach you get Christmas and Easter and Summer holidays (at least that's the idea I have... need to wait till a friend of mine finishes her teacher training course to know for sure)</HTML>

<HTML>Hmmm I can never take days off in the 1st week of the month, but now at JC the month end isn't exactly the last day of the month, but rather the last friday after 4 weeks, except every 3 months when the month has 5 weeks, so...
erm... ask me first when is *my* 1st week of the month lol
And I can't take holidays in July (doing budget)...
And I can't take holidays between Christmas and New Year (doing cycle counts)...
