but I freaking hate working Saturdays. My boss didn't believe me when I told her that making us work weekends is on the verge of communism. She also didn't think it was funny when I told her she only made me work Saturdays because I'm black....

I wouldn't laugh either if my black employee figured out I work him harder because he's black.

Hopefully you get fired so you can have all your weekends off and someone that appreciates the extra work can get in there.

I recently went back to work after a layoff, and they cut the work force by well over half. Production is working 7 days a week.

Life sucks. I'm sorry you're black. Now deal with it.

I could not imagine having to work a saturday. it must really suck. I've never had to do it, unless I was called out, but that I don't mind since it's like 4 hours double time even if it takes 5 minutes to fix the issue.

I"m not crazy about my job at times, but for the last 10 day i've been working, all i had to to was babysit my equipment, update a few reports and watch tv.

So, it has its plus and minus.

You're lucky. I can't work Saturday until spring time. Miss the huge overtime checks. Really makes a difference for me.

Guessing you work at a NOC? :biggrin:

I would not mind having that job. Just sit and watch TV all day. It might be a very boring movie (alarms) but hey, it's still watching TV. :p

NOC... Nah.. but if I were ever able to change careers, working at a NOC might be fun.

Right now, I'm at a customers location, and well, this phase of the project doesn't really require too much from me. Make sure my equipment works, and just standing by if things went south. Then i would have been been busy.

Actually, I'm glad things were as uneventful as it was. Gave me time to study a bit for the GRE.

If you curious as to where I am working..look at my location. The hint: its not Pittsburgh.
