I guess being outside I miss a lot of the turmoil..

 

That you do Steve. Inside it gets crazy. I worked New Years day once. I was by myself the whole day. When I left there was still at least 25 tools that needed cleaned and put away. Dept supervisor didn't think it would be that busy based on the previous years numbers. Boy was he wrong. When I had left for the day I had 30 minutes of OT I had to get rid of.

 

I don't get OT. Being part time I don't get near the amount of hours. Has gotten worse on hours for part time people since this Obamacare crap.

 

I bet it has Steve. I was full time and the ydidnt want us to have overtime. If we had an hour of OT we had to cut it somehow. Usually take a longer lunch, come in late or go home early.

 

That is the general rule here as well.

 

probably like that at most retail businesses.

 

I guess so. This is my first retail job..

 

For me Home Depot was my second retail job. First one lasted all of 2 weeks back when I was in school. Worked for another Home improvement store that went bankrupt. Store I worked at closed 2 weeks after I was hired. It is now a grocery store.

 

I worked in a Restaurant as a dishwasher and busboy when I was in high school. That was as close to retail as I got..

 

never worked in a restaurant. Worked for Hechingers for 2 weeks. Then no work after that until my junior year of high school when I started working for a bus company. Left there for a dealership for all of 2 months. Then started taking a few college classes. After I graduated I worked for a cemetery with a friend until Home depot. Then went back to the cemetery after Home Depot. Now working at a university.

 

That sounds like a varied career..

 

It has been Steve. I worked at the cemetery until I put in the app with the university. Just had a gut feeling I would be hired. And I have been here for 6 years now.

 

That is good.. You should have a decent retirement plan..

 

Yes we do Steve. it is a 403B. University matches as well. All I have to do is put in 2% and the university matches with 11%.

 

That is really good. 11% is a lot..
