Been on both sides. Worked as welder/machinist in a large shop repairing off road and heavy highway construction equipment for 10 years,clock and out, OT after 40hours,etc, liked the work and people, but had an ankle crushed from drop from overhead crane and with pins and screws realized I could do that standing on concrete for ever (was 20 years old at injury). Continued working there during day, college classes at night. Got business degree and was hired as and insurance adjuster, salary job. My check states pay is based on 80 hours every 2 weeks...but I never work less than 50-55 week, sometimes more. Carry a cellphone, all customers have the number, if on vacation they call me,if sick, they call. Got a laptop to take home at end of day to work on more... Am responsible for entire office and have had 2 small raises in past 5 years (working this job past 26 years). That pencil sure gets heavy some days :)
