It sucks.

Just so people do not misunderstand me.

I recently switched to full-time hours at Super Target because I need more money to cover living expenses and debt payments.

This is on top of working on my Masters thesis. And if I resume teaching part-time this fall, I will have to go back to part-time hours at Super Target again.


I will enjoy teaching full-time after I obtain my Masters -- what I do NOT enjoy doing right now full-time, is working at Super Target.

Boo hoo! You want to work on your Masters, but make some extra money on the side and so are working at Target full time. You expect any of us to feel sorry for you? Hell, it ain't like you are working at the factory floor!

What I hate is that I've seen several studies showing that, in the case of office workers, you don't actually get more than 6 hours of productivity out of them no matter how long you force them to stay at work; the rest of the time is just spent screwing around. I, for one, would rather work like a dog from 8-2, then have the rest of the day to myself.

I'd probably just screw around even more if I had less hours .

I do a lot of work in the last hour before I have to leave... this also may be because most of the people in my hallway have left for the day .

I normally just work my straight 40 then go home. If there's a big project going on in the field then I may work 50 or even 60 hours but since most of our clients are government agencies they insist on workers getting over time for their work; even salaried employees like me.

Once in a while if things are slow then I'll take off an hour early and only work 35-37 hours in a week. I try to make sure people don't see me leave early though.

I probably shouldn't post any rough statistics of my productivity, considering that I'm at work now.

In the last 6 weeks or so I have worked a couple 120+ hour weeks. Since I moved down here (2nd week of Jan) I haven't worked less than 60 hours in a week (and probably less than two weeks have I worked less than 80 in a week).
