I normally work Saturdays 9-6, but they are expecting increased call volume due to the big game this weekend. I got asked to come in at 7. Thats flippin early!

Very grateful to have a job to complain about though....I just don't think that many people are going to call in.

Who else is stuck working this weekend?

Uh, that sucks. I have the entire weekend to do whatever.

I did make plans with one of the ladies, while forgetting the superbowl is on at about the same time. Oh well, it's worth it. Sure beats working.

About 10 more minutes and I'm off to work. Can't complain as I usually work every 5th Saturday.

I'm mostly working weekends, but then it's my own company and I always work from home, other than meetings. I have some hobbies on hold that I need to get back to, in few months probably.

It's a good thing I don't have to go to work today. Two hours spent shoveling the driveway already. I'm only about 30% done.

I am working Saturdays for the next 8 weeks on a project, starting today. Yay for overtime!! Got to love getting paid. Though sleep would be really nice right now too. Already been here for 2 1/2 hrs and barely got anything done due to a combination of a couple stupid problems and me still in zombie mode for the morning.

this weekend, every weekend.

I work Saturday/Sunday/Monday/Tuesday

it's not bad most of the time, though it sucks that I can never go to any afternoon functions.

<sigh> Yes, I have to work in the tax office today...10-7.

BUT, I have tomorrow off. I told my office manager a couple of months ago (at the start of the tax season) that I don't work Sundays. I'm a church-going guy.

I don't think she's figured it out yet that it's the church of the Almighty Pigskin...:p

But, tomorrow is the last...sermon...of the season.

I'm at work right now. I am so much more productive on the weekends when there are not people around e-mailing and calling me. It's pretty relaxing actually. Plus my office is a freaking mess and need to clean it up.

I think I may cut out at 1:15ish to see Crazy Heart though. :hmm:

How many hours a week do you work on average?

It's tough to guess and can cary quite a bit depending on time of year and whatever else is going on. This week will probably close to 70ish, but probably in a normal week around 60? :hmm:

Damn I need to get a job. Been less depressed as of late so it's likely I'll be out looking for one soon. Need to do so just for my psyche, even if it's just a retail job. Other things are starting to look up in my life recently though so hopefully things work out.

Btw is that 60 70 hrs all at the office or include work at home.
