Vent: worked 22 hours of overtime since Wednesday

I worked 22 hours of overtime since Wednesday and tomorrow probably will be a 12 hour day.  I was supposed to start a part time schedule this week haha--that's not going to happen.  The frustrating thing is that I've been bored out my mind at work for 6 months because nothing has been going on.  Then the week before I'm slated to go PT we get swamped.

 I'm fine because I'll get overtime (weekend and holiday pay), but I'm a little sad that I spent one of my last baby free weekends with DH at work--cried about that last night : (

 I also have 21 days of leave to burn otherwise I forfeit it when I go on maternity leave.  There's literally no way I can use it all.

 First world problems, I realize--just tired, hormonal and needing to vent : )

  • Crappy! I'm sorry you've put in so much overtime at this point in your pregnancy! Overtime was the worst part when I was working in previous positions.  When I was expecting DD#1 six years ago, I worked back to back doubles for six weeks, totalling 80+ hours a week.  Great money-- but no OT due to sneaky and illegal practices from my employers-- so I completely understand where you are coming from.  I was so exhausted after those weeks I could do nothing but cry and sleep when I got home!

    Good luck!
