Oh I am right there with you. Chained to a laptop today for 12 hours LIL! I guess my payment is not having to pay staff for the day. I should not complain as I am taking Sunday and Monday off. I am closing the store Monday so everyone has it off but no income coming in. I was hoping the public makes up for it today and tomorrow. That is generally what happens. I have been telling people all week we are closed on Monday so hopefully they will not forget. They are spoiled really because I only close 6 days a year. I am working more now so I can work less later. At least that is my plan. We will see what happens.

Chin up, cook yourself something yummy for supper by the computer. I brought some of the casserole I made last night and the last of my home made soup for lunch and dinner. I plan to drink some tea today too. Brr chilly outside.

The rest of my weekend will be low cost. I am bringing a bottle of wine to two dinners I am attending. I know I am spoiled I don't even have to cook or chip in for the dinners. Other than that just house and yard work.

Hey, Galstorelady,


I just got done with work...6.5 hours of my weekend gone......I ended up redoing all the testing that a team of 4 was supposed to do...that is why I am working today.....They were supposed to save me time, but.....they cost me time instead.


I am heading to the gym, and then I have to buy a new shower curtain liner...how's that for a glamourous evening?

I am not trying to stir anything up, but if you are an hourly employee as opposed to being paid a fixed salary, then it might be against your state's labor laws to work those hours unpaid.


Just a thought,


Robyn

Hi, Fab,


I'm salaried, but I have to count my hours for reporting.........
