scrubjayspeaks...Universe, that was NOT what I said I wanted for this weekend, and you know it.
I, like a fool, have made myself useful by learning a new job that just came out of development*, and which is terribly behind schedule from minute one. So I, an established fool, have been asked to come in for overtime on Friday, and I have accepted. Thereby cementing my foolish status.
It's just, my appointment isn't until the afternoon, so I technically can pick up these hours. Every time previously that I've nearly gotten Friday OT, it's been canceled at the last minute due to someone else's scheduling conflict, so I'm eager to finally get in on this. And since I just got my pay raise, my overtime pay rate is really rather nice. This is a good time of year to pick up extra money as well, with various expensive holidays approaching but not yet here.
I'm a very sensible fool, it seems.
*I use this phrase in the loosest possible sense, because they don't appear to have in any way worked out how best to run the job, which is sort of part of the development process. Theoretically. As opposed to scheduling an operator and telling them, oh, huh, I think we figured this out once before...? every time something goes wrong.
