It is imperative that I watch one World Series game with my parents. So even though it is a week night, and I have to work in the morning, I drive the 90 miles south. I will spend the night, and get up early, which I hate doing, but hello - World Series.
My father took a week’s vacation for the occasion. He is on the day shift, so in theory he could have watched all the games anyway. But he didn’t want to risk getting called for overtime. What good is putting in 25 years at a company if you can’t use that extra vacation time to watch the World Series?
