work sucks....

[ktrim]

I also work in IT (onsite support of 8 retail electonic stores).  I work 8 hours days m-f but clock in an out from home (paid hourly due to traveling) usually end up with 4-10 hours of overtime a week.  The down side is I'm on call 24-7 and have to carry a company cell phone.  We have to answer if we are called and must be onsite within 4-hours of being notified.  This has screwed up lots of birthday parties, family get togethers, weekends, and nights out with the wife.  The upside is My boss is 200 miles away, I talk to him every couple of days but only see him 2 or 3 times a year.  unfortunatly I've worked the last 2 weekends, and the day after turkey day I have to be at work at by 4am
