Hi all. Topic says it all. Lately I've been pulling anywhere from 2-5 hours over the normal 8 hour shift. What's yours? |
Though, I'm not making money.

I work anywhere from 45 to 60ish hour/week. Some days are less than 8 hour and others are over 12. It just depends on what's going on. I am the only one in my department that supports WMQSeries so I am oncall 24/7 sometimes even when I am sic or on PTO. This will change later this year when I go squirrel hunting in Oct/Nov for the first time in two years. Lack of rain in the last two years stressed the Abert's Grey Squirrel population here in AZ so I didn't bother. But the abundant rains we got early this year have changed all that. Uh hunting I will go. Uh hunting I will go... High Ho the Merry-Oh..... |

Depends...normal at-work time is 7:30, with luck, I get to jet around 4. Problems? Easy 6pm. Also on-call 24/7. We move to 23/6 trading next month, too...and there's just 5 of us...theoretically, only 3, but me and another guy pull double-duty... The job I'm at, it ain't hourly/daily...it's more whenever it's needed. We generally pull 50 hour weeks, and not even because we need to, but because we feel like keeping tabs on things. The above is also beyond weekends. Come release weekends, it's an all-hands evolution (generally) on Saturday, and maybe Sunday...) |
Since you mentioned it and at the risk of hi-jacking this thread. Yes, and the young ones fried are quite tasty fried. They don't taste like chicken. They taste like squirrel. The older ones make a nice soup but in the past few years I have gotten into the habit of donating the old ones (once they have been dressed out and frozen) to the local AZ Game & Fish Wildlife Clinic. They prefer to feed the animals they have there, that are being rehabilitated for re-introduction to the wild with wild game meat that the same animal may catch in their environment. |

standard is four 12s and a 6, next week two 12s and a 6, repeating . sometimes i get to cut out someone early to get a 16, but not usually. i can go a long time with no overtime, but i get plenty in the summer, last week was 84 hours worked+ 8 hrs for the holiday.....i'm a slut, i like big checks. |

10 hour days, at work. i eat at the desk 1/2 the time and don't dock the boss and eat out 1/2 the time and don't credit him. 55-60 hour weeks, 50+ weeks a year. gets old. wish i made enough to do 40 and the house, earning enough to make the house a home. if you got the time you ain't got the money and vice versa....
