Obviously, freeloading bitches and the unemployable need not apply.

Me, I totally do. I've already checked out, and I'm just waiting for five PM or so. Then it's drinking, sex, and colonoscopies until Monday.

Most of the time, I look forward to the weekends. Also, I tend to keep busy after work, so at times I'm really looking forward to running out the door in the evening. However, if I'm thoroughly engrossed in a project, I don't mind clocking the hours. My weekend plans have been worthwhile more often of late than they were a couple years ago.

I work Saturday-Monday and do nothing at all for the rest of the week. I suppose I could complain if not for the fact that I my job consists of sitting behind a counter and occasionally taking people's money; yeah, the days are ten hours long, but I get paid $10 and hour so the guaranteed 6 hours of overtime a week is nice.

In some states, overtime is paid after 40 hours of work a week, or after 8 hours of work a day. 3 days x 10 hrs, 2 hrs per day overtime.

I work 12 hour shifts, and work every other weekend. (Friday-Sunday)

I also have a three day weekend every other week. (Off Friday-Sunday)

Unfortunately, I don't have the option. Not that I could really handle working a job I didn't care that much about. But at some point a while back I stopped working for "the Man" and became "the Man." So things are a bit different from this side of the desk.

As Kinanik said, California law is that you get overtime pay if you work more than 40 hours in a week or 8 hours in a day.

Are you a skipper now?

I dont work for the weekend. I set my sights on liberty, since weekends are never guarenteed for me. I calculated it a while back, and I work an average of 65 to 75 hours per week.

Somehow, it doesnt seem like that much.

Depends. In general, I really like my job so it doesn't matter when the weekend gets here. But if I'm having an especially sucky week or I have big plans for Saturday...then I do.

I work for the weekend. We usually get overtime we get bitched at for not taking (logic being we get X number of samples in a day and since they have a turnaround time, they have to be logged the day we get them in), so while that's nice it also severely cuts into my personal time. So yeah, I live for the weekends, I live for holidays, I live for vacation and personal days I take off.

I live for Sunday, unless I have homework. I have Astronomy again this semester bright and early Saturday morning. I have my first test on spectrums and thermonuclear fusion tomorrow, in fact, and it's supposed to storm here. Really looking forward to being out in nasty weather. Yay.

I usually, but not always, work weekends.

Luckily I have this Sunday off

When I was in school I worked every weekend for like 4 years solid, now at my current job the concept of weekends is foreign to me, most of the time I am not even really sure what day it is, days are just whether I am working or not, heh.

Weekends being busier than weekdays I can't even recall the last time I had a single day off on a weekend, let alone two days in a row on a weekend
