Overtime?

i dont see anything wrong with you taking overtimes. but everything has to be balanced. you should also have time to rest, be with your love ones, study, work, etc. if the occasion calls for the need to work overtime, then yes, i would consider working. but if its not necessary, why would i jeopardize my relationship? i can still work and be with my love one, right?

I recommend that you spend your time with your loved ones instead of working overtime. Spending time with your loved ones is something that money cannot buy. I remember the time when I paid dearly for it... It was my girlfriend's birthday and we were supposed to go on a dinner date. I had to cancel it to attend a meeting... She was very disappointed that she didn't talk to me for days. Now, I always see to it that I prioritize my loved ones over working overtime.

Before I retired I was general manager of large laundry. There were no hours the job needed to be done and I did it. If that involved working evenings or weekends or at times getting up during the night if we got a call from the police then that is what happened.

I think you should have communication with your girlfriend,may be you have some difficult,then you should do overtime,I often do overtime when I was a student,it nothing,if you like.

Unless i absolutely have to i don't. I always let my co-workers get first choice. Most of them like the overtime,me I rather stay home with my honey.

When I was still pregnant, I used to work overtime to get extra money. And I did not have any problems at all even if I was preggy. It was also fine since both my husband and I work at home, so physically it really did not matter. Right now, as much as I want to work overtime I cant anymore, I have the baby to attend to plus the household chores. And it still is great because I want to treasure every single moment with my growing baby and family. Dluther, I think you just have to weigh things, which is more important to you?

That's a hard one to say. If i was in your situation I would to save money for when i have a family i will be able to provide for them. If she loves you she will stay with you through the thick and thin. But as my situation it's hard because we need the money to survive on and the kids hardley get to see there father because of it. I guess it's how much you need the money.

I used to work in a call center also. I worked full time, and it was really hard. Mainly it was because my hours would change, and they were very unusual. the only free time I really only had was on Sunday. I didn't have time for anything really. I think that you should be able to take some overtime hours though and still have time for your personal life. I think that you just have to plan it out. I guess just make sure whatever you do that you don't tire yourself out, and just remmeber to take care of yourself.
