pwnd!

  11 hours ain't that bad, its those 16 hour days that suck, right when your second 1/2 half hour break is over and you realize that you've got to go back to work, but all you really want is to go home. 

Jeez people, how did you get suckered into these crazy schedules?  I love being a civil servant; 8-5 M-F with 3 weeks vacation and 14 holidays every year.  I'll never be rich but at least I have time to enjoy life a little bit.

Where should I forward my resume?

Well I kind of like my Civil Servant job too. I do the flip flop schedule were I'll work 4 days then get off 3, then I work 3 days and get off 4. I try to average 50 hours a week, and have done a max. of 60(limit), the overtime pay is great, and I'll always work the holidays for the double time. It's a bit more stressful than the regular 9-5, but I look at it this way, if you include my vacation with my off days I'm actually getting more than 1/2 the year off (just working a lot the other half), this way gives me my cake and the time to eat it too.

 
I work 12 hrs. for 3 nights a week and with my vac. and sick time I only work about 120 days a year.
Kids go to school more a year than I work.

What the hell do you do for the rest of the time?

What ever I want. I build bikes and parts and do custom work on my cars and play golf but mostly just hang out with my little boy.    I love my job.

I work university so right now i'm on two week for break, another week in early march, two more in later april and another 3 in august.  Then depending upon my schedule I can be at work anywhere from 3 days a week to 5 days most other times.  Although to be truthful sometimes a workday is riding to work, teaching for 1.5 hours and riding home.

ah.
