Know how you feel there.
I worked every holiday last year, and I asked off for New Years day and they wanted to complain... but yet they let atleast 1/2 the people off on the normal holidays.
So I said forget them... I took a eary weekend yesterday and today, and then i work tomorrow and saturday, then I get my normal weekend

WOW I feel for you guys. Seriously!!! Being semi-retired now I have a 4 day weekend every week and 3 months off in the summer. I honestly don't know how I got anything done when I was working full time. I highly recommend retirement. My part-time (3 days weekly) job at a college is ideal!

{BragModeOn}Every week end is a 3 day week end for me. Plus, Mondays are home office "virtual". I love 4 X 10 work schedules!

Enjoy cleaning the garage, its that time of year to clean it up so we can dirty it up over time, until next year when we clean it up again!

ya, I feel for you man, try this.... Monday&Wed. 8:30AM-10:30PM (college and work, one hour of break all day), Tues&Thurs:7:30-10:00PM(college and work), Fri: 8:30AM-5:00PM(college and work), Sat.&Sun:6:00AM-4:30PM (work at steel factory). Gotta work hard to pay for college, truck, insurance, gas, taking the women out.... etc....
Been doing this since Christmas, average about 10-11 hrs./day. I believe that I am now up to about 70-some days with out a day off. Man... I cant wait for spring break (Mar. 15!!)
Now... dont you feel sorry for me?

I'm on the other end of this....got laid off in August 2002. Going back to college, night classes 3 days (MTW) and a Saturday AM class. Last semester my classes were TWTh, had all day F-Sat-Sun-Mon free. I graduate in May--anyone have ideas where I can find a job? There aren't any around here.

I've been on the ends.... school schedule + work, work schedule, and outta work. I like work best. At my current job at least I have the option for working holidays or not, but have also found the more I work, the more I seem to be expected to show up too. I wish I could afford to retire, but the way things are going, that won't be much of an option in 15 years. One of my teachers told a class to take time off and to things while you can. It's easy to forget that.

I shouldn't complain. I have the perfect job. When I was.........younger....like in my 30's, I had a full time job and ran a business on the side. I did that for 10 years and finally got burned out. Now I like some free time to do what I like to do as in machining some parts.
