...because it's Good Friday, to watch a Symposium on google video.

Well probably not all day, but right now there's nothing to be done, and I'm a telecommuter now. I get paid double time + half for working on a statutory holiday :D

Anybody else working today?

It's what hippies and bums don't do.

Negative. And now, working third shift, I was off at the start of Thursday morning! I have to return Easter night so it all evens out. It's nice to have a freaking day off, though. :choc2:

I regret saying yes to doing overtime today. I'm only working 3 and a half hours, but the trains aren't running because of maintenence, taxis are double fare and...that buses are usually late.

I'm getting double pay though, so about £11 an hour. I'm working 9 hours tomorrow though, I wish THAT was double time...at least I'm not working Sunday. My only day off this week. -_-

Bah I work a 6 hour shift straight today (assuming they don't try and make me stay longer) and we don't get jack. Hell I've worked both New Years and New Years eve consecutively doing a full day shift (10+ hours) and I got nothing extra, not even a second break. My company sucks. :mad:

I work every holiday. Including Christmas, American Thanksgiving, Easter, Columbus Day, etc. etc.

Yup. I wanted to work a full day, but they only needed me for 2 hours. :( Still, I'm getting paid double for that.

Yeah, I actually just got home. I've been working as a waiter at one of my best friends' parents' party today. I had to serve the food, work in the kitchen and such. It was pretty fun, though, since I did it with one of my other good friends.. so the hours went by rather quickly.

No work for me for four days. I get to stay home and not get paid. Paycheques don't look as good after stats. :cat:

Meh. I wasn't supposed to work today but my boss called and she was like "oh Allie you're my last hope" and she doesn't even appreciate anything I do! I'm so quitting my job.

I got asked to work Easter Sunday, but I made an excuse. I feel a little bad, but I've done overtime for two weeks straight with one day off, and Sunday is my first proper day off. >_>

Plus, I got paid today! Yay.

I took the whole Easter Weekend off because I finished all my contracted work for now on Wednesday.
