    ever since I started my job here(two years ago this month) we have had mandatory overtime, often 50+ a week, and begging us for more. Which I took advantage of. But now we are at 40 hours, and its like vacation every day :) or maybe it feels like it.

    I try NOT to work OT.

    Got sucked into it at Wrigley Field a couple weeks ago. My tax for that week was more then I used to take home per week ten years ago!

      Work has slowed down these last two months. Working 4.5 days a week and 10hrs max a day has been nice especially on the same salary. I do wish I was home everyday though. Glad the car is done so I can have some relaxation time while home.

        I haven't worked a 40 hour week in over 7 years.  My competition isn't slowing down and neither am I.

            I think working overtime gets real old real quick. But that doesn't mean I work a lot more than 40 hours a week. It's nice to be able to do jobs on the side and other things to profit in your spare time. Like starting your own business.

              At end of day on Wednesday, I already logged 36 hours. Salaried, means I will basically take the rest of the week off now.

                I've been working OT since the day I started here... Before kids it was 10-15 hours a week, now I'm doing about 5 a week with kids. I could realistically work as much as I want, just choose not to now with kids at home.

                Expecting 4 boxes today/tomorrow with parts...

                  Why are the time stamps on our posts off by like 14 hours? Someone change the time zone without telling anyone?

                    Reading off my phone it says you posted this at 8:09am. Check your profiles settings to see if you are still set on central time. I can look into it later if it's still an issue.

                              Happy to announce that I now have a running 911. Turns out that the 10 years it sat clogged the injectors. Runs perfect now. On to body work.

                                    If anyone enjoys whiskey: Festival Foods by me has Crown Royal XO on a huge sale right now (supposedly they're discontinuing the XO, so they're selling all existing stock). Maybe check your local stores if interested...

                                    Regularly $52 for a .75ltr, on Sale for $25.

                                          Anyone know of any mechanical designers looking for a job or a change, send them my way.  Just hired a new guy, who is doing awesome, but another guy gave his notice.  Apprently moving back up north the UP is more important than working for me!  Kidding, I knew it wouldn't be long before he left.

                                          If you have any good candidates, please forward them on.  bob (at) c2s (dot) com

                                          Thanks!
