Well, it was my day off...

While trying to get the apartment in half-way decent shape for dinner tonight, I got a call from Cost Plus.

"Doug? It's Trissene.. can you please come in and work a few hours? We are swamped!"

So I did a little over five hours. This means that in the last seven days, I have worked

Thursday, Dec 18 1200-1700
Friday, Dec 19 1930-0030
Saturday, Dec 20, 1930-0030
Sunday, Dec 21, 0900-1800
Monday, Dec 22, 0900-1800
Tuesday, Dec 23, 1550-2100
and today, 1000-1900.

Nobody can claim that I'm not doing my bit for my corporate masters!

I am wondering one thing.. anybody know California law on time between shifts? Is it 8 hours or 10? Because if it's ten, I'm going to get 8 hours of double time pay for that Sunday shift.

Luckily, there's no way in hell they can schedule me for tomorrow; the store is closed. But Friday? 0400-1300. Yup, four in the blessed AM. Guess we have a lot of set up to do.

It's 8 hours between shifts. I used to do shift work for CYA. Of course, they got away with other things I didn't think were legal, like straight-8's with no lunch break, but they were always pretty adamant about that 8 hour minimum.

but, have you thought about friendlocking all posts pertaining to work? I've known so many who have gotten fired or in trouble for talking about work with even the most inane shit on their LJ's.

I'll consider it.

But this is nothing but the facts.. I wasn't made to come in, I was asked, and chose to do so on my own. If I really feel the need to rant, I shall friends-lock that. Nothing in this post that I haven't already discussed with my managers.

And I've used the "corporate masters" line at work, it always gets a laugh.

I can see your point, so anything inflammatory will be locked.

ok, but know too that ppl have gotten fired for talking about shipping dates, schedules, etc. It's weird what they want kept private.
