Work. No work = no pay. Can't afford a 21-hour paycheck. My 40-hour paycheck is miserable enough. 32 sucks. Can't do OT, so lost time is lost. What a country. Celebrate the holiday with a smaller check. Woohoooo!

You should move to France, Joseph. They won't let you work more than 35 hours in a week!

Work. Double overtime plus shift differential for graveyard. = Plenty of "lettuce" Forget the sandwhich I want the lettuce.

France has it right, I think. None of the "uncompensated (ie mandatory) overtime" crap. My dad's company forced that on them a few years ago.

I shouldn't've complained about not getting weekends off.. these past three weeks have seemed like one big weekend, one that I took some work home with me, that is... I'm just not disciplined enough to make myself work on a schedule. Which may be part of why I'm still a student.
