Well, now that I've gotten myself all sorts of pissy about work, I have to go there. At least I know they're paying me a lot to be there today, and I'm going to put every single minute of it on the OT form!

[creek14]

Well, I work 7 to 7. No time for lunch. If I leave the building for lunch, I have to take vacation time. I always get there NLT 645 so the night guys can tell me what went on. And I never leave before 715, so I can tell the night guys what went on. Yes, they could come early or stay late, but they choose not too. We all started out as equals. I put in the extra time. I now make a lot more money than they do. A lot. More than I would make if I put the extra 1/2 hour on my time sheet. Maybe instead of putting the OT on a sheet, you should talk to your boss about your dedication and ask for a promotion.

Rosie, your time is valuable. I know it is to me. I would fill out OT for any time I was there over 15 min. more than scheduled. If they don't like it, they will more than likely find some way for you to get your work done without working OT. And, if they don't, you get paid OT. Or perhaps you could work it out where they give you comp time instead of OT. Me, I'd rather get paid and I have made my feelings known about that in the past. Of course I have a union behind me but, still, if you are there and have to work, you should get paid.

My thoughts exactly. Does everyone have me on ignore this afternoon?

My extra 20k is more important to me than a 1/2 hour. But then, I like money.

Has RL posted today? I can't remember any posts by him.

Oh, I would agree with that. As I stand now, I am incredibly underpaid considering the quality of work I do vs the others and the time I put in, and I know there is no way I'll be getting a promotion no matter how well I perform, so that's why, in my case, making sure I put in every minute of OT is neccessary.

I hate it when LAUNCHcast plays some totally random song.

I had the volume pumped up while listening to "Welcome to the Jungle" and then LAUNCHcast started playing "It's not unusual" by Tom Jones. Everyone in my area just started staring at me like I chose for LAUNCHcast to play that..

I don't mind that. Especially when it's playing My Launchcast. If I don't like it, I skip it and tell it to not play anymore. If I like it, I rate it. Of course mine isn't that loud.

Good example: It just played "Celebration" by Kylie Minogue.

You were on my ignore for about 5 minutes after the Nicole Eggert fiasco, but not anymore.

I appreciate the honesty.

Rosie, the way I look at it is you've got 2 options:

1.) Fill in the OT form for every blessed second over what is expected and extract your $$$ from your employer.
2.) Put in the time, don't charge them for it, but make darn well sure your boss knows you're doing it because you're a dedicated worker.

#1 is short term gain, #2 is longer term.

As a salaried person, I'm in the same boat creek is (figuratively that is, I don't sail on the U.S.S. Creek), i.e. whatever it takes to get the job done.

Which means, they get a hell of lot more than 40 hours a week out of me. For example, I've been putting in 12-14 hr. days since the beginning of November plus about 10-15 hours on the weekend. Yeah, occasionally when things are slow, I'll knock off early, but those days are few and far between. But, they compensate me well for it (bonuses+options=not have to worry about kids' college so much anymore) and I have enormous freedom in what I do, where I do it, and how it gets done. It's a double edge sword; lots of room to succeed, but lots of room to fail too. I just don't look down.

It's a hard knock life.

The Year Without a Santa Clause is on tonight at 7pm. (Heat Miser / Snow Miser). My son is so excited he almost couldn't sleep last night. I believe its on the Family Channel, or NBCfamily, one of those "family" stations.

Thats how I was Monday night waiting for Nicole Eggert's island to come on Tuesday night.

The she got cheated and lost, and is now gone until they do the obligatory banished people come back to mess things up bit.

[Puffy]

Wow, everybody disappeared. I have free reign.........

[letsgojunior]

Risky Business was a great movie.

Sorry about Nicole Puffy

ahhhhh, thanks!! Thats OK - I got to watch her in a bikini, and that was reward enough for me!

[Red Leader]

What's that? All I got was you have chosen to ignore this poster... :

I liked All the Right Moves as well.

[Red Leader]

Norah Jones - Don't Know Why is playing now...and it's making me want to go home.

[Red Leader]

Yea, that was a bummer about Nicole. I didn't even get to watch any of that show while she was on. Looking forward to South Park tonight, though.

Steph Georgivich: And on the 7th day, they played football. 6-2 stack monster! 6-2 stack monster! Ready.....Break!

[Puffy]

Coach: hey Steph. Next time go for the ball, son. Go for the ball.

MUSCO lighting did the lights in the stadiums for that movie. My late uncle's (by marriage) brother was the head of that company - still may be for all I know. Also my first cousin was a VP for them until a few years ago when he moved out to CA. My grandfather sold them gas till he retired.

I really like the song "Pop Goes the World" by Men Without Hats. Soooo much better than "Safety Dance".

[Red Leader]

My best friend from college was in the movie Gung Ho when he was like, 12. He made us watch it like 10000000 times when we were in college. It was filmed in PA.

[Red Leader]

I really like the color Orange.
