Off from the paying job, but that doesn't get me out of farm work. Got to to unload 2nd cut alfalfa in a little bit. After that I'm putting a '95 12v back together, adjust the timing, check the valves, etc...

Almost forgot, have to finish the neighbors '72 Volkswagen Beetle too.

I'm getting ready to go to work in about 5 min. I don't feel like I'm getting the shaft though. My job has a lot to do with this holiday. I'm a military man. USAF baby!!!

Nice to know I'm not the only one. I've been at work since 7pm last nite get off at 8am this morning, Then I get to come back in tonite and wont get off till 9-9:30 tommorrow morn. And I dont get any holiday pay. They say that its added into your salary, which is a load of BULL if you ask me.

Yep, got to go into work this morning in an hour at 9, and get off at 7 tonight. However, I might get off at 6, depending on how busy the store is. And no extra pay either, full-timers get 8 hours of personal time, us part timers get the shaft

8 am - 4 pm, it sure is quiet in here, though, I think I dozed off for a while, but they're not giving me holiday pay, so I didn't feel too badly about that.
