So my schedule for this month has me at the Voice every Monday from 11am to 1am and every Friday from 11am to 9pm.  


A fourteen hour shift? Zoinks, I hope you're gettin' paid hourly (and O/T) for that. You're gonna have a very good reason not to like Mondays.


Actually, I love the work so much that I'd happily pull a 14-hour shift every day if they'd let me.  I can honestly say I haven't hated a Monday since the BMMB shitcanned me at the end of April.  Last week I picked up a few extra shifts doing first-copy reads (usually I do late proofs), which was a great experience.  I'd like to be skilled at everything there soon.

Alas, no OT, though: NY law considers OT in terms of a 40-hour week, not an 8-hour day.  (Voice union policy is to pay OT above 35 hours, but I'm not in the union yet so that doesn't apply to me.)
