I'm SO not happy.....

I thought this wknd was going to be great, DH doesn't have to work (b/c AU has a bye week), we're having date night on Fri as usual, I was going to work on a proj in the house, we'd go to early church - SCRATCH!!!!

Well some of that will still happen - but now I have to work from 11pm Sat night to 1pm Sun (YES, that means OVER THE NIGHT).  so.not.happy.

My new project this wknd - sending my resume out a million times.

Did I mention I prob won't get any comp time for this?

yep.  I love my job.

rant over.  Thanks for listening (reading).  ha. Wink

Re: I'm SO not happy.....

  • AWWW MAN, Katie, that truly does suck. I might have to pull the "I'm sick card" for that one.  Plus those are some LOOOOONG hours. 
  • What????  That's crazy!!  What the heck are you going to be doing overnight?

    I would be demanding comp time.  

  • I have to manage/support a backup/upgrade of a system this weekend.  So while I won't be performing everything for our product I have to manage the people who will be doing the steps for it.

    Yes, totally sucks.  So I have to be up and watch the stupid bberry for everyone's updates, any risks that may arise, issues, put calls together if need be.  Hopefully nothing will go wrong but this is awful.

    comp time - we have a doc in place that tells about comp time but our manager has NEVER implemented it.  ha, thanks.

    sorry I'm so Debbie Downer, ugh I just am NOT looking forward to this and I've been beaten up over this issue ALL week.

    I'm NOT looking fwd to telling Brad tonight either.

     

  • That sucks!!!!!!!!  I would call in on Friday if I had to work those hours on Saturday.  I hate that for you!!!   Hopefully all will go well and you won't be too busy.

  • Wow! They should definitely let you off on Friday if you have to work that much over the weekend.

    When we get even a few hours of overtime they tell us to go home or take an extra day off to make up for it!

  • Aww, Katie I'm so sorry!  I have to go in from time to time overnight too...the last time I was there from 11 one night until 4 the next afternoon, it sucked!  We have another downtime for the night the time changes, hopefully it won't be as long.  We don't get comp time either...and since I'm salaried now, I won't get shift differential either, grr.  I hope nothing goes wrong...but I hate this ruined your plans for a relaxing weekend!!
  • That's not cool. I'm sorry. Hope you find a new job soon.
