QUILTY..

why do I feel quilty for leaving work at 11 today and not staying to get overtime in.. and I'm not planning on coming in tomorrow.. for overtime.. like I have been for many weeks now. I thought to self.. "self.. it's a damn holiday month..enjoy it" .. but it's hard when I think of all that extra money I'm not making.. I have to keep telling myself.. it's okay to enjoy life.. it's not all about money but it does make it nicer anyone else like that.. I know when I leave here tho.. I'll be happy in the thriftstore and home

At least your not salaried which = free labor. LOL My last job was salaried...... and I consistently worked overtime. Grrr ....But my 2 jobs before that.....overtime was either mandatory or not available.... When I was at U-haul.... we were REQUIRED to put in at least 50 hours a week for 3 months out of the year, and we could work as much as we wanted.... If we wanted to do 80 hour workweeks, we could.....during Open Enrollment. Job before that.... there were about 4 times during the year (2 week periods) where we would be required to come in on Saturday to do additional work (during open enrollment, cost of living raises, computer upgrades).... It is nice that you have the option to do it..... so I say....if you are not leaving your job in any type of a 'bind'.....don't feel guilty about not getting extra money..... it is soooo much more important to live life. Since I have been home with the kids in the past 3 months, it has made such a difference in their lives. Plus, you are a big-baller now with your Ebay funds....LOL

What will all the extra money do if you don't have time to just slow down and enjoy life? You ask yourself...am I okay with the money I bring home? Do I make my bills? If so, stop feeling guilty and just enjoy your day off. If you need the overtime you will work it but until then it's time to stop and smell the thriftstores.

you should see me inhale deepling and perk up.. my eyes becum brighter and my spirits are lightened when I go there.. you know me well

I do know you..............and I say if it makes you happy DO IT Have fun My Friend! Hugs. Barb

yep. I'm sitting here debating putting in for the ot they offered on christmas day. money would be sweet, but the time away from here is pretty darn sweet too.

not sure yet. thing is...I'm turning 35 next year (its a big one) & I really would like to go to Europe to celebrate. which will require money. which will require me working ot. I dont know. I'm still mulling it over. we'll see what happens.

but it's CHRISTMAS DAY woman.. don't do it.. unless.. it's double time.. and you will be sitting home alone. if you are gonna be with family and friends.. and it's just time and half.. DON'T DO IT..
