Don't you love getting called in to work on your day off?

I actually don't mind it too much today. My coworker's step-dad is getting readmitted to the hospital and it really doesn't look good for him, so I don't mind covering tonight for her. Plus, the few extra hours will put me at over 30 hours OT since Monday. That will pay for my trip to the NYC GTG so I can bring home a new Valenti!

I work contract work, gov't doesn't like giving overtime pay so that issue is nonexistent.

Whether or not I mind depends on how long the shift is, when it starts and ends, how many other days in a row I've worked, how many hours I have that week, and if I'm saving up for anything.

If I mind it I screen my calls .

If I don't I answer.

If I answer and I don't want to I say NO.

When I have GAS I am an overtime hog until mission accomplished.

I know the feeling.

The office has my cell and home phone #s so they can reach me 24/7

I don't get a day off so it doesn't matter. Besides, I'd have to call myself in

I don't mind. They know I work two jobs and some side gigs so I'll say no sometimes. However, on the other hand, I'll ask for OT if I know someone's gonna be out.

Indeed, and I am quite unhappy that you aren't using this wonderful service that I painfully created for you.

I wouldn't mind if it happened to me right now. Currently I'm getting ~0 hours a week at work.
