3100 Hours Worked

[McLeod]

On many occasions I sacrificed my paycheck to allow a more junior employee a chance to gain valuable working experience.

Thank you!!! In the past years that helped us coverage drivers out alot. You see all us younger drivers have small kids so the $$$$ really helps out when the senior driver opt to voluntary take time off so we can work!! Thanks again!!

I do that for the Part-timers inside (take VLOs), especially the past 2 months with fading volume and economy - and a few of those are upset or jealous at me because THEY had over 3.5 hours and I'm out the door at the start.

Would have easy 2000+hours as of Nov 22 without VLO

It's funny how different things can be in the same general operation.

2,887 hours here. I cashed in some vac. and old sick days. Plus I usually get ot.

1994 hours so far this year. I never have, and unless I have no choice never will work through a vacation. The company gives me that time off for a reason and you bet your butt I am going to take it.

 

[NaiveRapture]

Well, I'm just a cover driver but I've worked 1200 as of this last pay check... so probably another 150 or so before the end of the year.

2038.48 so far this year. 2244 hours last year.

 

[Bad Gas!]

I'm glad to go over the new contract requirement of a pension year 1800 hours. I was out 2 months with injury. Many folkes don't know that you need 1801 for a pension year; and 156 reports for all vacations paid in the next year..

Probably a dumb question....

*edit* was a dumb question.

2041 so far, and was laid off for 5 weeks in the first part of the year. Worked inside one day a week while laid off

Just wait, small kids are cheap compared to kids driving, kids in college etc.

...and it doesn't stop there. I thought once my daughter graduated from college I would be done paying for her--yeah, right! (To be fair, she will have taken over all of her bills 1 Jan 09) and my son recently moved back in with me even though I (jokingly) told him that my front door was an "Exit Only" door.

You are only done paying for your kids when your wife says you are---and that ain't gonna happen. I stiil haven't figured out why when my daughter and her family come to visit us- we pay for all the groceries but when we visit her - guess what - we pay for the groceries there also.

Haha yeah, that would also be a pretty interesting thread. I'm PT and I'll be at about 40k.

i dont think we will be gettin those hours next year though...

You very well might be right. I keep really good records of the days that I work, and I have a spreadsheet which displays a number representing how many days I worked in a given week. Just looking down the list month by month of the last 6 months you can see the numbers drop off dramatically... I fear much of this next year until the economy/housing market/whatever turns around some. My only fleeting hope right now is retirees this year, and somehow managing to have people sign the bid sheets for FT that don't actually want to do it (which always happens, but to what extent varies from sheet to sheet).

 

[HEFFERNAN]

In this economy, I can't see how someone would retire. I would keep on working 'til the recession turned the corner.

But obviously, I have a long way to go before I make that decision
