Original Commentary
Kimberly's situation is loosely based on Terrence's job situation in 2003... he didn't get Thanksgiving off either.

Modern Commentary
Right now, I'm in California. Anything past 8 hours a day or past 40 hours a week is overtime and you get 50% extra. Previously, I was in Florida and it was just anything after 40 hours a week. So the company I was working for had us working 14-hour days. It was 4-day weeks, but you only had enough time to eat and sleep after work and I was just zonked for the first day of my weekend.

Anyhow, the holidays I've worked were either really good or really bad. The good ones, management brings in food, the boss isn't there, and there's not much work to be done since everyone else is out. The bad ones, you've got twice the work and half the people to do it... - Terrence
