Anyone else have to work tomorrow??

**Curious_AJ** · 23rd March 2008, 20:28

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!

)

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??

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

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

**Jantar** · 23rd March 2008, 20:47

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.

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!)

It's okay I work in my own business, which is actually quite cool & at least now I make sure I take holidays

(didn't have one from '81 thru '04)
