I called my boss to express my outrage and he informed me the CIO has stated he feels 45 hours of work is standard for IT.

He can feel anything he likes, but unless you're classified exempt, the Federal government says differently.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm technically getting paid overtime. They just futzed with the numbers so that despite me working 45 hours a week, five of them considered overtime, I get paid exactly the same as I was getting as a 40-hour a week salary employee.

ETA: To clarify, my hourly pay rate got dropped almost $3 an hour. So I work more hours, on a shittier shift, for the same amount of pay I was making before they switched me to hourly.

They lowered your hourly rate without telling you first. They suck considerable amounts of hairy stinky ass. Keep those resumes going out, they do not deserve you or anyone else working for them.

Ah! I thought there was a rule or something.

Fuck. Had I read this earlier....

Also? I cannot see how you could manage to restrain yourself. The good news? If it doesn't fit for whatever reason., there are tons of kids who'd appreciate it ( I just recently found stuff I'd bought for D and misplaced and forgotten. But my friend T is having a boy around D's b-day, so he can use them! I got both the thrill of buying and when I forgot, thrill of giving.) And it makes you feel good. That counts for a lot. Also? Go to a bookstore and indulge in Eric Carle. My mom's suggestion, for starters.

I will keep all tags on and the receipt until I know if they fit or all. I have 90 days to return, so that is ok.

I already have Carle's Panda Bear...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, here's what not to do: read the last statement of executed Texas offenders while watching any musical montage scene of ER.

What the fuck was I thinking? My head hurts so bad.
