Well, after a few weeks of negotiating new fixed schedules at both of my jobs (it can be hard when two GMs get posessive, eh?), I finally have a permanant fixed schedule! I'm planning on keeping it through December, at least.
Remember, the indy job is delivery, the corp. job is management.
Wow! Crazy! We did work out some arrangements: I get the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each month off. Also, I have to cut my indy hours back (slightly) when other managers at my corp job go on vacation ... OTOH, I also have to cut my corp hours back (slightly) when Gary (the owner) or other f/t drivers go on vacation from the indy.
Well, who knows. If I don't wind up buying a Jeep this winter, I will at least wind up paying off some credit cards

I had a schedule at Suckee Sleazes' where they wanted me to work from 10:30 till 1 then come back and work from 4 till 9 pm. Yeah, that really allows you a life.

I remember the last time I worked a month without a day off, back when I was still working at the bagel shop as an shift supervisor. My family says I was an irritable, bitchy mess that month. Fifty-hour workweeks will do that to a person.
Good luck with that! Hope you weather it better than I did!

50 hour work weeks? That's the norm for a lot of us *L*
Snay needs to stop working so much... it's not good for a person. He's gonna get himself sick. I know from experience. BUT, I've calmed down a lot, and I'm happy to say that I'm working only 55-60 hours a week... which may SOUND like a lot, but isn't so bad. School is out now, so I've still got a ton of free time :-)
And this week I'm actually only working... oh.... zero hours! Yay, me! I'm on vacation from BOTH jobs, and have taken this opportunity to leave the state. Whoo, hoo!!!

Hmmm, lesse 85/7 thats above 12 hours per day. Now with 7 hours of sleep, and lets assume two hours to eat three meals per day (we'll have to assume you don't cook...or eat pizza).
That leaves 52.8 minutes a day for free time, assuming you don't have to do laundry, shower, buy groceries, etc.
That sounds fun.

The money is not worth it, Snay. Been there, done that, you need to find a better paying job where you can work less and make more. Oy! You're going to kill yourself... or at the very least, die and old, lonely man, who never found love because he spent all of his time at the Pizza Shop.
My social life is much better now that I don't work as much.
