Mmm, yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday, too

I work every weekend. And now that I just got promoted and a pay raise it'll be even harder to get off...since I'll be the one that has to open and close the store.

Oh how I love college life. My job is pretty decent all things considered though.

Heh, stop moaning at least you have a job (not sure if you like it) and teh boss found you at most dependable. I've been in that situation too many times... :( Got a $0.27 raise too.

I'll be at work tomorrow, possibly Sunday.

I'm on a shitty deadline and I've worked every day from July 5th to July 29th without a day off. Finally had last weekend off.

I'm really stressed out and have even developed a subtle spasm under my eye. I need a break, damn it! :p

Every weekend for the past year and a half. Was going seven days a week for a while there between school and work. Sucks because everything worth doing happens on Saturday and Sunday. :p

My boss' boss came around today to personally ask us for overtime on either Sunday or Monday. Sunday is my day off, so I opted for a few extra hours on Monday.

5 long days > 6 short days anytime

I have worked odd shifts in the past, but not often. I simply won't accept much interruption of my life by something as useless and unimportant as a job.

I've worked basically every weekend for the past 13 months.

doubly sucks on Saturday because, since one of my coworkers got fired, I'm the only one working the Saturday day shift... end up spending my entire day putting out fires and having to ignore just about every non-pressing emergency that I should be working on (so that they end up stockpiling until Monday/Tuesday and I just don't have enough hours in the day to take care of 4 days worth of work in 2)

What's the prognosis of the company surviving?

Sounds like it is in dire straits and it will kill you.
