Which people have the honor of working overtime this weekend?

I work 9am -6pm five days a week and on this occasion i'll also be working this Saturday.

Dam I hate overtime, ruins your entire weekend. Can't even go out tonight as I've got to be in bed early.

Is it optional?

Its one of those, 'you don't have to come in, but we want you to' kind of overtime.

And seeing that everyone else is in my department is, guess I don't really have a choice.

Well I guess I'm in an industry were overtime is the norm.

The computer games industry.

Oh I know where your coming from.

Thing is, by working this weekend I'm going to be knackered for the following week. This time next Friday I'll be dead.

Not working but on call, which is worse.

Overtime = More money surely? :cool:

I'll probably be putting a few hours in on Saturday to get a client's site live.

I work every Saturday and Sunday as contracted hours anyway, 6-9.45am each morning, joy of joys.

but £75 an hour makes it worthwhile
