iluvtofly 0 #1 July 17, 2008 It's well known at work that I'm a whore when it comes to overtime. It's pretty much the only way to make money here. I'm always the first to volunteer for an open shift. Typically, I never know how much if any overtime I'm going to get in a week. It all depends on either someone calling off or all hell breaking loose. Well, thanks to a fellow dispatcher going on vacation next week I'm scheduled a guarnteed 60 hours. People need to go on vacation more often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vskydiver 0 #2 July 17, 2008 I quit reading when I hit the word "whore" and had to go back and see if I read that right. Then I finished the sentence and realized what you were really trying to say! Congrats on the overtime! Don't work to hard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to the working too hard thing...the really nice thing about my job is so long as all hell isn't breaking loose I can watch TV, sleep (night shift only) and/or post whore.

floridadiver81 0 #6 July 18, 2008 Well...we call your types "clock whores" where i work..and my leadman actually called me one a few weeks ago...lol. Im always the first to volunteer for overtime. The good thing about my job is i work 4/10 hour shifts. So at the end of thursday i already have my 40 hours in. Anything after that is overtime. Funny thing is..if i work 23 hours of overtime i more than double my paycheck. Lately though there hasnt been any overtime due to it being summer...and no yacht owners want to put their vessels in the yard to have maintainance performed on them. We have a quote at work..."its either feast or famine"...meaning either 70 hours a week or just the normal 40 hours. They are anticipating work really picking back up here in the next few months...and i cant wait!"Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!
