We’ve been getting some nice weather… unfortunately due to the amount of cold and rainy weather the pollen in the air is really taxing. I think I’m getting a sinus infection, between the pollen and the chemicals they use to keep the Easter Lilly’s at work preserved. They’d better be all gone by the time I come back from my weekend getaway, those things have always made me hella sick. My first year of being exposed to them earned me a double ear infection and the additional bonus of a asthma/bronchitis hybrid I had to endure. Thankfully I’m not around them nearly as much as in early years, but walking by them everyday is enough to set my nose off and trigger near instant illness. :zorak: On top of this I found out that I’m working nine days straight… I wish we had laws in place that made it so that if you worked for more than 5 days in a row you have to be paid in overtime. It used to be that way when we had a regular Monday through Friday day work week that quite a few other countries still have, and now that more and more businesses are open 7 days a week I think it should be updated to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
I have a feeling if such a law were passed businesses would be more likely to hire more people instead of losing more in overtime… then again where I work they seem to have no problems throwing overtime at people who can stay for more than a full shift due to a couple calling in sick, and of course being deliberately understaffed in general. Though it’s hard to tell if it’s cheaper or if it’s because our hiring system is currently designed to be broken.
