    Grin So, I'm getting paid 44$ an hour...

    ...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?

    Work? What is this 'work' you speak of?
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
