YAY overtime!

That sounds like a long day, msbelle.

I'm getting over time for my 3 days of PD, essentially. Today was intriguing and we are done with the project, but I still have one day to go.

Interestingly one teacher team was playing music while they were working. It was a little presumptous in a room of 10 other teams.

yep. not as long as the drivers who were still there when I left. 8 - 7:15 with half an hour for lunch and not leaving the office. I do not want to do that too many days in a row.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a lot of overtime. At least you get paid?

I hope you get paid the OT msbelle.

I was looking at my year end paystub and realized that almost 10% of my pay in 2013 was OT pay. That works out to about 220 hours of OT. I better get a darned good raise.

PSA: the bulldog puppies are all passed out flat on their backs with their chunky little legs in the air. Mama's not in much better state.

Because books.

Anyone want to share a link to the puppies? I could use a puppycam.

Yes I get time and a half. The most I have had in one week was 13 hours. I won't hit that, but looks like I'll probably hit 6-7 this week.

Grace had surgery today. How many years have we been doing this now?

She can skip next surgery if we get a sleep study in time, which means wrangling insurance. I'm so tired just thinking about this.
