That's the only drawback of being employed fulltime as opposed to being a contractor. As a contractor, you get time and a half for any hours over 40. As a fulltime employee, you just grin and bear it.

I've heard stories of some people having 80-100 hour work weeks. That would KILL me. I just couldn't mentally handle that, I would absolutely go berserk if my life was nothing but my job and that's all I existed for and got to do. XP
Yeah lately I've had to do that at least once a week. We've been down one person and 2 people have to close. So I've had to open from 6:30am and close at 7:30pm. With a drive to and from being about an hour from and to work each day. Those days were absolutely brutal and I didn't like it. The extra money was good, but I never liked those days. Luckily last week was the last week of that...for now.

Depending on if I need a day off or need to leave early or something. I may do some extra hours at work and leave early another day or something. That's how I felt about my old job. Because they planned the schedule out. I couldn't even plan my life around anything. So I'm at least glad to be away from that and have a more set schedule each week.
