Mornin'!

 

Thanks guys

Morning all

 

That sucks but your paycheck should be pretty good

 

I have been early eveyday this week plus got called in on labor day. Now I find out I am working both Saturday and Sunday this week. Money is good but I have shit to do at house

 

I hear ya Billy!
Working tomorrow too!

 

Morning, faceholes.

TFGIFFF. These short weeks suck. I like the long weekend, but then you come back and the bosses expect 5 days' worth of productivity out of a 4 day week.

 

Yup, these weeks do suck. Have a feeling today is going to crawl.

 

i don't know what you guys are talking about, this week was great for me!

jk i def ended up on my office floor in the fetal position on Wednesday

 

x2 First period off this morning. I've got about ten more minutes until my first class arrives. till then...

 

Really? Why?

 

found out a customer of mine passed away, then got told i needed to fly to atlanta for the day tuesday right before my trip to nc wednesday, and lost my tacoma keys for 24 hours and the dealership told me it'd need to be dragged out of the garage and towed hahaha

 

Well now...

That sucks all around

 

Ouch, hopefully the rest of your week started looking up!


Projects like this, I wish I was hourly like some of you guys. I'm absolutely buried with work, pulling stupid hours and my paycheck is the same whether I slack off and work 30 hours or 80 hours

 

yeah found the keys, next week is still gonna suck

i'm salary too, but i do get bonuses. but i hear you, at the dealership i made the same on the weekends that i worked 32 hours while all of my hourly guys were cleaning up

 

But, you get to make up for it with those days that you can cut out early because you're caught up, without taking a hit.

GF is salaried, and she bitches about it whenever she has to work late. But she's also usually out by 1 on Fridays, lol.

 

I wouldn't take a salary job at my work. ill stick with my 3day work week making the same money they make in 60hour a week.

 

I went salary about a year ago and the company I'm with tries to make up for the loss wages for overtime. We have quarterly bonuses that are paid as a % of your quarterly pay. The hourly people have 75% of their pay bonus eligible, while salaried people have 100% bonus eligible.

 

Yeah... when I get one of those, I'll let you know! That said, there are perks to being salaried. If I have to cut out a little early to go to a doctor appointment or come in a little late because my kids had a rough morning or night, I don't put that crap on my timesheet. Also, with construction, you'd be a fool to negotiate your salary thinking you're going to work 40 hours a week. I knew I'd be working 50+ pretty standard and negotiated my salary accordingly. It all evens out in the end if you do it right.

 

Woke up to a hard drive failure on my desktop @ home this AM.

I managed to get in after waiting and waiting and waiting for it to boot, so I'm sitting here putting everything I don't have backed up onto flash drives as I found out I've still got a warranty. Luckily I backed up all of our wedding photos on a separate flash drive last week.
