    Ugh, I just... hate overtime. I've had to do it on a few occasions but it does make me kind of... irked.

    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.

    The time is upon us...

    Technically I am a contractor and legally I'm only supposed to be working 8-5, 5 days a week. But for this first week there were only two days I was done by five so it's looking more like 12-13 hour days, 6 days as week. And unfortunately that's just what is necessary to get all the work done that needs to be done.
