I remember visiting one of my dad's offices as a kid, and being shocked at how much time they spent just shooting the shit. Even as a kid!
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Y'all know I hardly work, right? Every other Monday off for working an extra 45 minutes a day, and I am up to five weeks vacation leave.
I am in the wrong job! I work an extra 45 minutes a day and get extra work on the weekend for my troubles! Not that often, I admit.

My frustration is that if I work OT one week and want to take time the next week (same pay period), I have to reduce my time off hours by the OT hours. Meaning I end up with just 80 hours instead of 80+OT. So, while I may take time off, my PTO balance doesn't go down.
Now that the kids are grown and I have flexible hours, my PTO balance is higher than it has ever been before. Wish I could take it in one big block.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I remained miffed that FT in ny was 9 to 5 and here it is 8 to 5.
I would love 35 hours a week with benefits.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a friend who asked about that recently, and it blew my mind.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The song "Workin' 9 to 5" baffled me for a long time. I kept counting the hours and going "Don't they get lunch? Are they paid for lunch? How are they getting a 40-hour week without something being really hinky?"

Pretty sure that's not legal, Suzi. There are specific professions where OT calculations are based on 2/80 calculations like nursing, but that's the exception not the rule.

ME TOO!!!
I thought maybe that times had changed.
Here full time is 8- 4:30 or 8:30 - 5. If you are hourly, you are considered full-time at 37.5 hours, but you get paid less (obviously)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been wondering for a few days - how did 9 to 5 become standard business hours, anyway?
Not that I have ever worked 9-5 (my current schedule is 7-3:30, and other than that half-hour lunch break that I only sometimes actually get to take it's pretty convenient). I was 10-6 at the store in NO, but we ate lunch on the floor and stayed available to customers, otherwise I've always had the unpaid lunch.
