Anyone else have to work tomorrow??

[Curious_AJ]

Yeah, I'm just bored and thinking about the fact that i have to work at 8am til 5.30pm tomorrow. I get paid time and a half and get a day in lieu and something else i think but i can't remember which is all good but for the fact that no one's going to come into a pet shop on Easter Monday!!

(I know, I know HTFU AJ! :p)

is anyone else working tomorrow (or has worked any time this weekend) and what does your workplace give you in return for working a public holiday??

[The Lone Rider]

Not me! Just cleaning up the bike and put away clean laundry!

[Magua]

I worked tonight. Though I'm not sure if I'm getting time and a half.

[Jantar]

I worked 12 hours yesterday, 12 hours today, I will be working again tomorrow and the day after.

Isn't it great to be at work with hardly anyone around. :niceone:

if there was a surcharge you had to add on (which is probably so, coz helen and i had to add one on waitangi day i think it was) then you'll be getting time and a half for working tonight.

as for the above people, i sympathise with those who have to work as well, and i curse you others for sleeping in and sitting in front of the TV! lol... oh well i'll be laughing on my three day weekend (next monday off) next weekend!!

lol, i get bored when that happens.. in a retail store there's NOTHING to do when there's no one there! you can't even throw dog toys at your workmates because they're not there, or sneaking off on many many breaks.. lol...

maybe i should spend the day re-organising the store to confuse my boss whom i think isn't even going to be there tomorrow either (she never seems to be at work on days like that!)

[Big Dan]

make the most of it sounds like you deserve it

[Curious_AJ]

make the most of it sounds like you deserve it

thanks lol, i'm sure i will, may take my day in lieu next friday if i can think of somewhere to go/something to do!

oh, shoot, i have my basic handling on the saturday at 2.45 (second go :( ) maybe i'll save my day in lieu for another weekend...

[MVnut]

It's okay I work in my own business, which is actually quite cool & at least now I make sure I take holidays:woohoo: (didn't have one from '81 thru '04):whocares:

[Pussy]

I'm having my first Easter off since 1987 :niceone:

[homer]

Yep im off tomorrow

and for measure .even if i got payed triple time and a payed day off later , id still rather have the public holiday off

A day off to mes worth more than having to work and getting extra pay

[Curious_AJ]

lol i agree.. though at the moment i need all the pay i can get!! saving for a house and a bike at the same time is terribly hard! lol.

I've worked all weekend, met some cool new people, and extracted some quality riding experiences. Just do stuff and don't concentrate on the negative so much. I'm going to get two lieu days out of it and head up to New Plymouth and get some Ohlins stuff for the forks of the Zed in the next month or so.

The best thing about this weekend was the kids only locating ONE of their Easter eggs this morning and expressing delight at finding such a cool egg, and determining to share it. "Bugger", thought I. I could have saved some petrol money there, but I wouldn't have seen a 4 year levitate if I'd been that selfish.

[Disco Dan]

worked friday.. worked saturday.. working monday. just another day for me.

as for meeting people and getting riding experiences, awesome for you!!

well if it's just another day it's not so bad i guess... but my schedule is so all over the place at the moment that i never get to spend time with friends and loved ones as i'm always working when they aren't! *doh!*

[Kittyhawk]

WTF is this thing called work? *scratches head*:oi-grr:

[Wingnut]

WTF is this thing called work? *scratches head*:oi-grr:

[terbang]

Well I'm working in a Muslim country at the moment and they aren't too big on easter. So I'm working...

[homer]

Na fuck it , rather a new bike :dodge:

[pzkpfw]

I quit (last day was last Thursday) and I'm doing some work this weekend.



(Just want to finish a few documentation tasks, hate leaving work undone..)

[Hawkeye]

Let me see. Fri: first coat of varnish on floor. Sat: second coat. Sun: played on the Takas . Today: final coat.

[Oakie]

No, not working Monday. It is in fact the last day for me of 19 days holiday (since 6 March). It's the longest holiday I can remember having. Yipee! Wouldn't mind another couple of days just to do a couple more things around home but it's OK. Weekend is only 4 days away.

[homer]

Yep im looking forward to the 4 weeks , this winter

[BuFfY]

Aw AJ that sucks. I am having a 5 day weekend, it is awesome!

[FROSTY]

i shut the yard friday and sunday. first days off in ages--feels like we had weeks off instead of days.

[SpeedyGirl]

I worked 12 hours yesterday, 12 hours today, I will be working again tomorrow and the day after.

WORK??? HA! Next time you see me in Alex make sure you make yourself known, and give us a better farm to shoot on ;)

[Disco Dan]

Just finished a double shift - 7am - 11pm (yeah i left a little early, dont tell my boss!)

...on a public holiday too.. $$$$$$

[Jantar]

WORK??? HA! Next time you see me in Alex make sure you make yourself known, and give us a better farm to shoot on ;)
I was on the stage or in the organisers room during the draw, and you may have noticed that it was a bloody copper who gave you a poor farm. By the time I came out you had gone, and I was going to tell you to send one of your team to my place. I haven't been able to use a rifle since my crash last year, and we're getting overrun by bunnies on our few acres.

[ManDownUnder]

Shame you didn't... Speedy is a natural with a shotty (seriously impressed...)!

[Curious_AJ]

how was your first day back at school? were the kids all... children-like?
