Hey
So over the past few weeks that I haven’t blogged.. I have thought much about blogging, just really haven’t made the time to do so.
I’ve worked, 20 days straight… and 25 of 27 days
In those 20 days I worked 196 hours.
In one week I worked 82 hours, then 90 the following week.
Its been a time to set some records for time worked, days worked straight.. and I can say that those won’t be broken any time soon.
Payroll called our center, talked to my manager, the director and her manager to make sure the hours on my timecard were correct.
Why work all that time? Well.. I didn’t have anything better to do. But I think that more sleep would have helped during the whole process.
On the 20th day I was on my second day of running a fever, so I decided to take Sunday off (before returning to work on Monday). On Monday I started to lose my voice, and by Tuesday had lost it completely. My manager told me to take Wednesday off and I worked Thursday and Friday with a whisper as my voice. I have been able to rest this weekend and my voice has came back a lot more than it was. This next week our team will probably have mandatory overtime (because everyone else refused to work it).. so I will be working overtime, just not at the rate I was.
On last Saturday (the last day of my overtime worked) I received an email from one of the managers on the floor. It said:
Jason,
I thinks it time you joined me at a Workaholics anonymous seminar,
Free coffee, doughnuts, red vines, and on occasion jalapeno pizza.
Seminars are held at my desk W-Saturday 5am – 5pm

I thought it was funny. I had to reply.
Subject: RE: WA meetings
I would come if I could,
But the meetings are untimely
I’ll be a few steps away at my desk.. working.
Fitting.. I thought.
My manager has been crazy happy that I worked so much overtime, treating us out to lunch, personally thanking me for working the projects (that helped her make her deadline) and getting me a gift certificate.
I am planning on moving in the beginning of May. I have sent an email to my manager asking if I can move to a work at home agent. I hope that is an option as I would stay with this company if possible. However, they have been phasing the at home agents out… so… I don’t think it is a true possibility.
I have asked JJ if he is ready to move by May- he said he will be more than ready. Good thing they offered overtime, because I am ahead of the game for my finances… and also very ready to move.
So much has past in the last month.
It was Emily’s Birthday on Feb 24th..
And since I’ve posted the Blazers have played 12 games, winning 8 of those 12.
In the next week it will be my parents 33rd anniversary and JJ’s 26th birthday.
So much to do, so little time.
Alas, I’m out of time.
just Pray.
