Good bye OT?

The moving of machinery down to North Carolina is moving along nicely. We have 4 new people in our department, relocated to us when their machines were taken out. There is a slim chance we will be coming off mandatory overtime in the next couple weeks. Having been on overtime since last July, and mandatory OT since November, and being on light duty the last 3 weeks (2-4 more weeks to go :| ) I am actually looking forward to working a normal 40 hour week for a while. There is also a rumor going around that all departments will be going to a 12 hour swing shift. It would consist of 12 hour days 2/2/3. Which means never working more than 3 days in a row. I think I could get to like that. Not to mention every paycheck would have an automatic 8 hours of OT in it.

As long as you still have a job, and you're not being made to do ridiculous things for the BOSS'S paycheck only, thank every minute you can get.
It will be worth it, trust me.

(just be sure to never work yourself out of a job like I did once...JUST once...LOL)

Hang in there!

Working 3 on and then off sounds like a great idea. Plus OT figured in, makes it even nicer. Hope you're not snowed in :P or if you aren't have some more *snow*
