What would you have chosen? (Good News)
12 years ago
Only myself and one other employee work the overnight shift where we get equal shares of 10-12 hour shifts every night including holidays.
With the other worker going on vacation until January, all of their shifts opened up and pay overtime of 1.5x my pay.
Surely I would take a few, but why not all of them? The job itself is a test of patience with oneself, unpressured by anything but isolation. Two months of this to get a tremendous payout... a minor sacrifice in the grand scheme of things.
So I offered to do this, which was met with "Seriously?!". As of now my schedule is set in stone starting in two nights.
The good news part is that the day after I said I would do this, someone offered me to join them on a vacation to Las Vegas in January, right after my OT spree would end!
I find this fabulously ironic.
I haven't gone on a vacation in years, this should be fun!
Out of curiousity, would anyone else work every day for two months with extra pay in exchange for a trip to Vegas?

If we're talking about my current job however... **** that. A week spent in a hotel room with scantily-clad vegas show-girls would not be compensation enough.
