OT - Am I the Only Idiot?

Fred19Flintstone

It's 4:30 on Friday afternoon. My office building is a ghost town. Am I the only idiot still working? Ok, you caught me about "working". Let me re-phrase. Am I the only idiot still at work?

cazzy

I'm still at work too, but they have this fascination with paying me overtime so I guess I don't mind. Looking forward to taking my son to see the new Ninja Turtles flick.

What is this "overtime" you speak of?

Eggcelsior

Salaried jobs are for fools, Fred. I should know.

Foghorn

Still working. 

I salute my fellow idiots.

I've been "working" from the home office for 5 weeks now and head out next week for a bit. I like to break up the day with picking tomatoes, pruning the herbs and getting the grass cut early. Sssshhhh, don't tell my clients.

Fred19Flintstone

No salary here. I must be here at 8:00 and must leave at 5:00. Period

Fred - Thought you were in the local government game, none of them are at work during the summer, specially Fridays in the summer. 

I'm sure time will go by far too fast and you will be back "at work" on Monday, in the meantime, enjoy the weekend.

Guess I'm a idiot also. Oh yeah and will be one tomorrow as well

Eggcelsior

Must be nice. I'm in by 0800 and out by 1830 or 1900. 40 hours is all I get.

cazzy

I was exempt from 2001 until this May.  Upon taking my new position, I was pretty shocked that it was an hourly spot.  I will say though, the incentive of getting paid for working more than my required time isn't enough to motivate me to look for extra hours or work.  I'd much rather be home than here at the hospital.

Loser.  Get a job.

DMW

Just landed, waiting for the parking shuttle and at least an hour drive home. Oh, and a little detour to Wegman's to pick up 60# of butts and a bunch of wings.

mcmac

Still at work as well!

nolaegghead

I'm an idiot too.

Pounding out code and mining data.

I love my job. I am salaried but I get OT over 48 hours. Plus we have a local office but I work for our National team so I can work from home whenever.

Holepuncher

Worked over today and have to work tomorrow, Why can't corporate America take a big deep breath and realize, it's gonna be okay.

Austin Egghead

I am on a forced sabbatical until the humerus and the screws holding it together become one. Salaried and normally driving home at this time. Wish I was now, daytime TV sucks.

hondabbq

I'm salaried and am able to bank my OT. I even get stat pay when I work them.

cajuncook

Retired and loving it. The taxpayers send me money (pension) every month to stay home and BBQ, fish and nap. Thanks.

hapster

I'm salary... Been that way for over 8 years. Most weeks the 50-55 hours don't bother me too much; so weeks that drift upwards of 60+ irritate me a little.

cook861

I'm salary to i like when i take 20 days off work and still get payed or when im sick and still get payed

go to the DR get payed 

Work 42 days straight  still get paid ok that sucks

henapple

I'm self employed. I'm either at work on the road or off when I'm home. I took December and January off and egged like a mofo. Now 70 hour weeks are the norm. The longest stretch I've done is 32 hour drive, work, drive. I've done this for 30 years. Presently I have a great supervisor I can trust and he does trips on his own. That's a huge bonus.

TTC

I'm an owner of a 3rd generation family owned business, that has had really good years and REALLY bad years. See your bets and raise them one, lol
