STUPID, STUPID ME!
I made plans for the weekend thinking it would be a FUN THREE DAY WEEKEND BUT NO!
I AM ON CALL
I forgot all about saying I'd be on call for this holiday. WHY??? WHYYYYYYYY?
I am raeging and angry.
LOOK OUT WORLD I AM EXTRA BITCHY CUNTY TODAY
I would offer a hug but you'd surely tear me into very small pieces.

That bites. Being on call is sorta a drag if there is even a moderate chance you're going to get called in. Do they at least pay you extra for being on call?
I'm serving on a federal jury for a couple of months and yet still have to work Mondays ( trial meets Tues - Fri ), including this Labor Day. But I really don't mind this week - I'll be making double time and a half for working the holiday :).
Honestly, I can't complain. I get paid $4.50 an hour for just sitting here if I don't get called. I get time and a half if I have to actually work.
Well, money is good! Not being able to enjoy your plans, not so much.
Hang on? They give you $4.50 per hr for doing nothing but being ready to drop everything, but if you get called out they give you an extra $2.25? That means they value your presence away from work more than your actual time working.Quote:

Oops, sorry Ivan. I get 4.50 per hour for doing nothing but being ready to drop everything. I have no idea how they came up with that dollar amount, just the going rate I guess.
If I get called to work I my normal salary plus 50% for each hour I work.
Not too bad, to be paid to be on call, but I understand your rage...sometimes you just want to be free of even thinking about work. I have to keep track of work stuff a lot of times when I'm on vacation. I don't usually have to actually do anything, but just be sure that progress is being made on stuff while I'm gone. The times when I don't have to do that are like heaven.
I haven't had a vacation free of being on call for about six years.
I didn't really think about it being a drag, but it is.
Boooo! Julie needs to be on vacation RFN!
