How could I possibly be expected to work tomorrow when MSG is in less than 48 hours to begin the 5 shows in 7 days stretch?

Honestly, I don't even know if I can do it. I need some help here.

    Fuck them, see PJ. If I EVER heard my boss tell me I had to work on a day that interfered with a PJ concert, I would flip out and nearly quit.

    I am in the same boat as Mookie, Tuesday starts my week o' Pearl Jam and I have to work Monday and Thursday. Hopefully I don't have to work Sunday, my body will probably need that day to recover. I work in retail so I don't get the "luxury" of knowing that I will have the weekend off.
    32 shows and counting...

    I think the person means that they won't be able to work on the Monday. You know, because they'll be too excited for the week ahead of them.

    Same here...
    Went to Camden 1 thursday night...got home after the 4hr drive at 4am and was up at 610am to get to school for a parent meeting at 745am!

    I'm off to MSG 1 and 2, and have to be at work at 730am daily...with a 45 min commute!

    Also going Friday to Hartford.... but crashing there for the night.
    Monday...Mansfield...and have a 5+ hr drive home just to come home to shower and put my shirt and tie on! At least that is my last day before my 2months off this summer! What a great way to officially begin my summer!!!
    ...44 shows...and counting....

    Yes, sorry for the confusion. I am working tomorrow, taking Tuesday/Wednesday off and working 1/2 day on Thursday (I already have Friday off).

    Gonna be a long day tomorrow!

    I have Monday off too. You live close to me (Saratoga) which probably explains the similar travel plans
