91 And counting...
:(

What I should be adding up is how many hours I've slept this week. Around 4 maybe?

 

I feel ya, man. I've been busting 96+ for the past few months. We've been down a medic and everyone has been pulling extra shifts to cover for her while she is out. My 24 on, 48 off schedule has inverted to 48 on, 24 off.

I don't work. every week a person bring me some money

 

 

I completely believe you.

 

I worked 12 hours this week.

A few of those repairing a cracked headstock and separated back and sides on an old Yamaha 12 string.

It's for a friend though so i'm not making much on it.

Work... Jobs.. Working... I'm at work....

does anyone get paid lunches anymore? i'm genuinely curious.


i used to, when i was a lowly paid grocery store clerk back in the early 90s, but since I got out of college, the whole "paid lunches" thing seems to have gone the way of the dodo.

 

 

The last job I got fired from paid for our lunch. It was really weird.

 

It was a pharmaceutical grade rubber factory that's been doing things the same since like.. the 50's or something ridiculous.

What does it matter?

 

I was just wondering, its not a big deal. have 40 hours on paper, but I have lunch breaks which make it 37.5 hours, but I come in a little early and leaving a little late I can get about 39 hours. I got 40 when I got paid lunches. Or if for some reason I couldn't take a lunch. When I saw 40, it was the first thing that popped into my head, so I went ahead and typed it out. I don't really care, you see. I'm waiting for my chicken to be ready, then I'm going to eat dinner. Until then I'm just farting in threads.

I know, that $2.67 coming out of you check for the millions on welfare is a bitch
:rolleyes:

how about the $100+ that goes to the military by comparison?

 

Are you seriously going to say $100 comes out of your paychecks for the military? That astonishing, you should contact your employer and get that sorted out.

I average about 45 'working hours' but once you add in 'finishing the remodel, paperwork, dealing with emergency patients, paying bills, consulting on the net' I probably run an average of 60 or more.

bitd, In my software engineering days, I (and most of the company) averaged 65-70 for almost 3 years while getting one, specific, major re-write ready.
Many divorces resulted during that stretch.

Yeah, I've always wanted to figure out when the paid lunch ceased to be the norm. I think it was some time in the 1990s. I mean, I had a paid lunch at a crappy entry level job in the early 90s. And back in the 80s you had the "9 to 5" song and movie, where the 8 hour workday (7 hours plus 1 hour paid lunch) was the norm. I just find it odd if the paid lunch just disappeared while I was in college in the late 90s, because no one ever really said anything about it.
