I dunno, maybe I've been lucky to have only had 2 jobs the last 15 years and only a handful of bosses - none of which objected to the idea that there were 24 days a year where I was not available during a 4 hour window, but the Patriots are too important to me, I think I'd be on the job trail the moment I found out I had to work a game for which I had told them 3 months in advance I wouldn't be available.
I know it's not easy to quit a job, this economy etc, but god damn, there are some things in life that matter.
