fermentor666 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 That used to be my old scheduale whenever I had to sub for someone. I'd work 14 hours, then 6, then 14, and then I'd have to sub sometimes another double or two singles. Wasn't working at a computer, either. My job now feels like I'm overworked even though the shifts are short and there's no way in hell I'd have to work more then I'm schedualed for, and there's no way I would. But I lift heavy computer shit all day in the smallest stockroom in existence in a mall. Today we got over 140 boxes and this is pretty much the norm for the goddamned place. And there's a lot of fat mother-fuckers that work there on the floor and get in my way when I'm stocking. Fuck retail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yesterday I calculated the average hours I've been working for the past three weeks and it rounded off at 12.5. It's fucking ridiculous. The weekend comes by and I don't have the energy to even go out and take a break, and that's if don't have to work the weekend. This Sunday I worked till midnight. I seriously need a fucking vacation NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOCAPSLOK Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 IM OVERWANKED BUT YOU DONT SEE ME COMPLAINING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Worked from 10am-4pm, then went and ran a bunch of errands all day, then i had a 3 hour class, and because the trains didnt run this week i had to take the bus which took me over an hour to get home. There must be an easier way to maintain my lifestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've been working my ass off...but not really a lot of overtime for the man. Too many personal projects, commitments and things entertaining me. I'm guessing key and mamerro don't get OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fondles Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 my work day goes anywhere from 6-12 hours each day, 5-6 days a week. and yes, overtime is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I only get OT if I pull a full day on the weekend, and usually it's just a trade for an extra day on my vacation time, which I doubt I'll be able to use before the fall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fondles Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 ah speaking of vacation time, I go on vacation starting June 5th and don't come back into work until June 14th. All paid. Counting down the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 yeah...key...my bosses are pretty cool...so I end up getting comp time as well. hell, one of my bosses has just plain been hooking me up with free days just because.

Abracadabra Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 i worked at this one place - 12 hours a day monday to firday, 6 hours on a saturday - for three months. after that time i realised what a tool i was and quit. pushing almost $2000 a week is cool and all, but when you spend all your time off sleeping, what's the point?
