work work work work...
I have been working a lot this week. My boss had a family emergency this week and so I was doing a large chunk of his job for him, plus doing my own. I realized I had actually worked over 80 hours last week as a result.
All of this is unpaid overtime...It supposedly factors into our bonus at the end of the year and we are allowed comp time, but I don't think they would let me take the supposed 8 weeks of comp time I have accumulated.
As for the bonuses, If you figure overtime at time and a half, then I am getting maybe 1/3 of that as a bonus...It's not bad to get at one time, but still, sometimes I feel that I am being taken advantage of because of my work ethic. True, I do have more freedom and responsibility because of it, but that means more work...A double edged sword, you can say.

Hi Jim
Don't be fooled by the nickname, it's Lia writing you. I found your blog, and enjoyed it much. Hope you aren't working still so hard... I can't say the same for me: twelve hours today and more to come :( We have two ministers coming to town back to back, two bodies home sick, a brand new boss and little ole me picking up the slack. Oh the pain. But I'm having a good time anyway, somehow. Luckily like you, I get good overtime. I really enjoyed hanging out with you on Sunday! One of my fondest things is rambling around town on old bikes. Send me an email if/when you get the chance so we can keep in touch, okay?
Bye
P.S. you and my friend Tania and the bloggers I follow faithfully have finally inspired me to start a blog! All I have so far is a ramble about my career path woes. We'll see if I keep it up.
