I have tickets to each home game of Round 1. However, I have been scheduled to work nights Thursday and Friday the 20th and 21st, when I assume there will be at least one game. Saturday I am off at 7, and I pray one home game is on Saturday. Or one could be Sunday and that would be fine too as I am off. Monday to Friday the 24th to 28th though... not only am I working 2-10PM, I'm also training so I can't even trade shifts. And because I'm in training I won't even be able to turn on the live internet feed from the Fan. No tv, no radio for a whole week from 2-10. How many games do you suppose I'll miss completely? Which reminds me that I should really talk to our scheduling department and ask if they could schedule me for mornings at some point because I haven't worked one since Christmas. Then I'll get mornings for Round 3 if I'm lucky.
I remember when I thought my boss made the schedule with a Flames schedule by his side. For an entire season I worked every night that the Flames played (or so it seemed) Thankfully that was in 1995/96 and I didn't really miss much.
