Happystuff, That being AT WORK at 6 am is grueling. At least it is daylight! Enjoy the Fridays!
I only had one job where I worked 10 hour days for a year but it wasn’t physical and I was exhausted on Fridays and got nothing done and I was only 40. My job involved a lot of driving to see clients which is why I was out of hours by Friday.
That ‘bonus’ tops the one I got years ago. I had been a temp employee for most of the year and brought on full time in October. In December they gave a Christmas bonus of one extra paycheck but mine was prorated for the time I was a permanent employee. As I told a friend at the time ‘I got a bonus in the high two figures!’
Another school year is coming to an end. Today marks the first of five 1/2 days for the kids, so that means I now go in at 12:30 instead of 3. Once school ends, we will finish out next week starting at 6:30 a.m and then start our summer hours of 4 by 10 the following week. At least there is a bit of a transition. sigh...
And now another summer is coming to an end. I can tell because I start new - later - hours tomorrow. It is the last week before school actually starts and they are allowing teachers to come in and work on their rooms up to 6pm - which means we have to stay until 8pm. The following week starts in-service days for teachers, two initial 1/2 school days for students, and then a 4 day weekend for Labor Day. (Of course, we custodians don't get Friday - just a three day weekend.) Welcome to the end of summer and start of what, hopefully! is my LAST school year!!!! :D

Woo hoo!
This is just a big whine....
Night shift co-worker is now out for medical reasons until October 25th. (Has been off and on for the last 5 years!!!! Whole other story) They finally have a sub coming in for about 4 hours a night who gets through what they can, leaving the rest for me. I TOTALLY appreciate that they did get a sub! But a whole month of doing my work and then picking up the slack on the rest of the building really stinks. No contract in sight (was due July 1st), so I'm still not making enough for my own job let alone part of someone else's. Sigh... this is definitely keeping me motivated for retirement!!!!!
they are lucky to have you!Quote:
