I spent today a work, at the work site taking care of a major mess someone else made.

[texanwitch]

No, this work isn't that hard, it is very simple.

I still haven't finished yet.

I had better plans for this weekend.

This costing a lot of over time.

The only good thing is I have been watching Lost on Hulu, I am almost finished the first season.

Any body a Lost fan, I have a few questions.

[Skittles]

1. do you deal with offshore folk?

cleaning up their chronic messes is SOP for me; in fact I am doing it right now.

[texanwitch]

2. Yes.

This company is trying to be cheap.

I am getting triple time for two days.

I don't like to drive a 40 mile round trip, working from home is better.

[Skittles]

12. I call 'em cheapshore

yes INDEED :mad:

[texanwitch]

13. I knew this was coming.

Good thing it didn't happen during early voting.

The company laid off some really good people.

Many now they can get their jobs back.


This is a major mess.

Why do companies do this, it always cost more.

3. Mornin' texanwitch.

Sorry you had to work instead of relax. It's cool you can watch tv and work though. I do that myself sometimes. I haven't seen Lost. Has it been worth the watch so far?

[texanwitch]

4. Yes.

I started to watch the first season but lost interest.

Now I like it.

Thanks to hulu I can watch it.


What I am doing is so boring I need something else to do.

I am getting triple time for two days, I do hate driving to work.

[AllenVanAllen]

5. Triple time, sounds nice!

How often do you have to drive in?

[texanwitch]

6. Normally only twice a month.

Unless someone really screws up, like now.

[AllenVanAllen]

7. That's very cool.

Twice a month is dream to most. I'm pretty lucky, I only have to drive to the the UPS store once and a while to ship projects. I've saved a ton of wear and tear on my trusty Saturn not having any kind of commute.

[texanwitch]

8. I would have to drive 200 miles a week otherwise.

I think a lot more people could work from home, at least a few days a week.

[AllenVanAllen]

9. Here's to less screw ups for you to clean up.

I'm sure people would love to work from home if they could. Americans work to much anyway.
Last I heard, France only has a 35 hour work week. Why can't we have that?

[texanwitch]

10. That is about what I work.

I work faster at home.

I still get paid 40 hours.

What I do is easy from home.

The only thing is you need a quiet place with a door.

[AllenVanAllen]

11. The night shift is always good for less distractions.

I am becoming a vampire myself. :)

[texanwitch]

14. I am part vampire.

Working early voting hours are hell.

I will be getting up at 5 am for the second week, 6 am for the first week.

I will be a zombie when the two weeks are over.

[AllenVanAllen]

15. Well , see I'm part Zombie

I've been trying to adjust my hours but I have been very unsuccessfully.
I hope you can adjust your hours before the big switch.

[texanwitch]

18. I always try but it never works.

The first week is easy, only from 8 to 4:30, we have to be there by 7.



The second week is the killer, we have to be there by 6 am, 13 hour plus days.


We make a lot of overtime, almost $15 an hour.


I don't have to sit at the computer anymore, I get to move around.


The last primary almost killed us, I am not kidding.


I still don't know how we did it.

[AllenVanAllen]

19. Take care of yourself. It's gonna' be tough.

I think it's time for me to retreat to the crypt.


Goodnight! :hi:

[texanwitch]

20. I am heading to bed in about on hour.

Good night.

17. What?

Thick cut?
