I worked 7 days a week, 12 hour days all winter untill the end of March. I've been working 8 since and now it looks like i'll be on a 10 or 12 hour shift 6 or maybe 7 days a week again. Looks like my summer is blown. Sometimes the money isn't worth it.

I hate when I work more than 50 hours of overtime in a 2 week strech, they take the 80 hours of straight pay for taxes. Nothing like working 80 hours for FREE.......

I only work 3 days a week at my job. 12hr shifts, anything over 36 hrs is over time.

That is a pretty nice schedule. What do you do?

Along with posting hours I think we should add what we do as well.

I'm a full time student, manage a UPS shipping facility, and guide hunts during the season. I stay very busy.

I do but i don't....I work 4/10's at my actual "job", but we just got done planting, now into hay season, mowed 80 acres yesterday so that will pretty much fill my evenings up this week.

tet tonight, rake tomorrow, (roll it over wednesday), bale on thursday, Friday move about 200 5 x 6 round bales to the barn.....yeah busy week for me....and I can figure probably 5 or 6 fire runs in there somewhere! Wonder what i should do with all my free time?

I work 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. At least thats how i get paid. Some days I might do actual work for 16hrs others I dont come in at all. This up coming weekend i have Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon off. By my math i make $6.41 an hour.
