Temporary Inactivity Incoming...


Toa Smoke Monster

I don't know if I'll have a chance to post this after tonight, so I'll go ahead and do it now.

 

After this coming Thursday, you probably won't be seeing me very much on the site. This is because of Spring Break, which is the busiest time of the year where I work. This will be the fifth year where I've endured a Spring Break at my job, and its because of these previous Spring Breaks that I'll only have time to work, eat, and get what sleep that I can during this time ahead.

 

Just to give you in idea of the madness heading my way, our Spring Break last year was two week longs. And in that two week period, I clocked in 194 hours of work onto one paycheck. One hundred and ninety-four hours! One hundred hours for the first week, and 94 for the second. (It would've been 200 hours had it not rained on that second Saturday, and even then I still got eight hours for that day.) Thankfully, I'm an hourly employee, so I got paid a LOT of overtime for this. It should also be noted that I challenged myself that first week to get one hundred hours, just to see if I could do it. I wasn't trying to get that many again the second week, but almost did so anyways. :P

 

Thankfully, our Spring Break this year is only one week. So I guess that's something I have to look forward to. And it helps that I'm still hourly too.

 

I probably be able to visit the site over the next couple of days, but once the coming weekend hits you won't be seeing me until Spring Break is over.

 

So in case any of you don't hear from me after this, I'll see all of you after Spring Break! B-)

Holy smokes, that is a lot of hours

 

Do you ever have people from higher up bother you about the extra hours? I've had bosses come down on me for working too much when I neared 100 on a paycheck before and it was pretty funny (although my bosses were pretty laid back all things considered)

Normally I try not to exceed 40 hours a week, unless it just can't be helped. But Spring Break is the one time out of the year at my job where my bosses don't care about how much overtime the employees get. It's so busy that they take all the help that they can get. So I take advantage of that. :P
