Nope! And what's cool is that you can use up to 1/3 of your vacation time for sick days. You don't get any dedicated sick days though. So it's possible to call in sick once or twice and still get the bonus. xd Not that I plan on calling in, I haven't been sick from work since I transferred to the night shift over a year ago. eek

We get sick days and Vacation seperate, and sometimes we are sick but are just really out of vacation days XP .... Lol, We also get more vacation days per year the longer you work there, but I think we always get a standard amount of sick days.

That's cool though, about the extra ca$h from perfect attendance.

That's how it used to be before we got bought. You got 5 days of sick time, which could build up from year to year, and your vacation time, which you had to burn up by your anniversary (Hire in) date, or you lost it. We're the same with vacation, the longer you work, the more time you get. I'm up to 3 weeks! whee

XP I have to go around 7:00am tomorrow (an hour earlier than usual) and I have to pick up my friend who also works there. I'll probably be staying 'til at least 7:00pm tomorrow, so that's 12 hours. Not bad, but I'm exausted neutral .... I'll probably take a nap after work, then do some stuff on the computer, then sleep 3nodding ...

I saw this 400GB hard drive at CompUSA for only $150, and my computer supports the weird ATA controller it needs to run that hard drive, but I checked and yeah, perfectly compatable. More space for me! :XP:

Hard drives keep getting cheaper, which is good, COnsidering thatI'm going to be building me a newer comp here soon. My old one is just too out of date.

That's awesome. Maybe check out Tiger Direct for parts for it. I know they sell decent computers for pretty cheap, but they might also sell just components.  

[Soultrain]

They do. Thanks for the link!

I know how you feel, though I've never had to work on a Sunday. You're stoked that you got such a good paycheck, but bummed because you don't have time to spend it.

Eeek! *bows deeply* Sorry I haven't been posting at all the past... week, was it? sweatdrop I just kinda had a writer's block, you could say... no idea what to post whenever I did log on crying But I'm back! ^_^;V

*straightens self back up* Of course, even now, I can't really say much in here, on-topic... while you two have been working, I've been taking it easy sweatdrop I don't have a job, so I can't say I know much about overtime, but I do hope you get a break soon! Being able to sit back and use your own hard-earned cash for something fun sounds really nice! 3nodding

It is! The only problem for me is deciding what I want for my birthday or Christmas. When I see something I want, I buy it. Kinda makes hard to get me a gift. xd

Lol, I do the same thing, end upgetting myself something I want before my Birthday or Christmas comes, then there's nothing I really want at the moment so it makes shopping for me difficult. xp
