and still 7 hrs 45minutes of my shift to go 🙁

So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me “Can you give me a lift?” I said “Sure, you look great, the world’s your oyster, go for it.”

My hubby’s working too, though he will be home shortly. We both used to work nights, Christmas and New Years always paid very well. 😀

Tonight is Overtime , Christmas Day & Boxing Day were part of my normal shift pattern so didnt attract any enhancements

[Becky]

Hubby gets almost double pay on public holidays and Sundays, with enhancements for evenings and nights as well.

What field are you working in if you don’t mind me asking?

[PanMan]

I’m not working in a field I’m in an office :-p

I think I mentioned it somewhere else on here, B2B Tech Support for Tiscali.

Any overtime is at 1.5 + 30% but PHs & Sundays are part of the standard 4 on/4 off (2 x 4days/2 x 4nights, all 12 hr) shift pattern for which we get a 30% shift allowance on basic

😀

I imagine you don’t get too busy at night then, unless there’s a major problem with the service?

Hubby works for NHS Direct. He’s just got home and told me it was a surprisingly quiet shift. He’ll probably have a belated beer for New Year and head to bed. 😀

[PanMan]

Even if there’s a major problem it isn’t too bad as we only provide support to resellers of Tiscalis services(ie other Tech Desks) not direct to End Users

Just make sure you fire a mail off to the correct mailing lists & then refer any ticket queries back to the mail you sent earlier ;o)
