I have to work today. Just wanting some whine with my cheese. Waiting for the whambulance. 

Any one else have to work today?

I’d rather have the paid day off than to work at time and a half. 

Nope. Relaxing at home today. 

I’m retired so just another day as far as work goes.....

Not working today!

Whambulance?

Been a crazy past few days for me.  Worked a 12 hour shift in Hilo on Saturday and just made the last flight out and dropped off FNRA tickets at night  .  Worked an early day shift yesterday then went to FNRA.  Got a call during the banquet to work another graveyard shift.  Then got a couple hours sleep then back to another day shift  Doing surprisingly well for just a few hours of sleep in 72 hours.

I came to Oahu for work, so yes I did work today and didn’t mind it.  What I don’t want to do is work on Saturdays during the college football season.

worked today

Motorcycle maintenance and much much more. Hopefully this will be enough to get me through winter before the next major service interval. It's not exactly chill time or work but then again I didn't have to earn money to pay someone else to screw it up.

Rub it in, rub it in.

Trying to get there myself. I have an early retirement plan but it involves living off of savings until SS kicks in. It’s not ideal, but it is tempting. 

Not working today!

Wish I was there. I really don’t get to shoot enough.

I feel your pain.

I was originally told I would only get paid for the OT I worked and the rest of the 8 hour day would be holiday pay. As it turns out my company told me to take the full 8 hours of holiday pay AND the OT I worked. So instead of having my preferred paid day off they paid up for my having to work. They treat me very well here. I shouldn’t be whining. I’m just at that point in my life that I prefer the time off to the extra pay.

You did something for yourself. That is worth more than pay in my opinion.

When someone is acting like a little kid and whining and complaining, tell them if they feel that bad you can call for a whaaaaaaaaaambulance. 

Rub it in, rub it in. 

I’m off Friday too. 

Will be working in a way as I’m getting home improvement stuff taken care of and helping family with flooding issues at their house.

And it sounds like your company does appreciate you. That’s very rare these days.

Family comes first IMHO. I feel that this sort of “work” for family is not really work. It is satisfying knowing you helped a loved one. You don’t get that when you work for a company.

They are sending me to Lanai tomorrow. It will be my first trip there.

There is one thing I am having a hard time getting used to working for this company. They ASK ME if I want to go to Lanai. They ASK ME if I want to work at a particular project every day. I’m so used to being told which project to go to that it takes me aback when they ask me if I want to go. My first reaction is NO I don’t want to work anymore. But then reality kicks in. I have never turned down a project from them. I just wonder what they would do if I did? 

As it turns out now I am off today. There is no project for me to go to today.
