Nah...I know there comes a time when no matter how much you are getting paid, you just need a break for your sanity. I'm putting in a couple hours a day right now and will keep going as much as they let me. And, when they ask for people to stay late, I usually get the gig. I'm a worker...I take my calls and knock out as many as I can. The more calls I get taken care of, the happier the higher ups are. They don't like calls holding. I don't BS either...give me the call...get me there...find a solution...get'er done and get back in service. So many others just sit...and hold calls....or take their time writing the calls and others who want to get everything taken care of so they can be free to do other stuff don't get to. So, you get workers and non-workers. While we all know who the slugs are, nothing is really done about them. I just can't wait until I'm one of the higher ups so I can start doing something more about it...other than bitching.
Anyway...getting off on a tangent.
Yep...I'd jump at the OT as well. Stinks that can't really sit back and breathe, though. |
I'll actually be gone the next five weeks or so, I'll probably arrive home in very late August...
As for the promotional stuff, keep the nose in the books and even if it doesnt occur immediately, learn from the testing process and know there is a reason for all of it... The internal politics << can I say that word... can be hell sometimes...

That's a long stint tho...

Yup, but, I'm happily married to a wonderful woman that I look forward to gettning home to see, so, just the drink with an umbrella will suffice...
