    Default I Hate Overtime...

    It just isn't worth it.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    If only the government wouldn't FORCE PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR WILL to PAY MORE FOR IT, it would be A-OK with me.

    It wouldn't matter to me, it is in my contract.

    Overtime looks good on paper, but after they take half in taxes its not so sweet.


    But then, when you are on salary they get to work you as much as they want and no more money.
