All that kind of pay, overtime, double time etc gets paid through the commission you earn. so basicly you dont get anymore than you normally would since you should be selling more than the ammount you'd get for overtime etc.

indeed, huge ammounts of gay, which is one of the reasons i left. free yourself Pro-gem! :P

Yeah, because being at home on easter sunday rocks. I mean why would I want to be somewhere else when I could be at home cleaning, doing washing, and dealing a chocolate induced hyporactic child.

Give me HN anyday

free yourself from this opressed housewife stereotype. Make him do the cleaning & well, don't give your kid chocolate.

but in reality, leave the housework for another day? just go out back & have a bbq or play with your kid to run the chocolate out of her.

Today is not a public holiday so unless you normally get paid more on Sundays don't expect much.

Could also be read as 'I'm pissed off I'm at work so I am going to displace my anger onto the people who went shopping of their own free will' :P

you could read it that way, or i dont mind being here that much, but since it is easter sunday, i wouldnt really expect people to be here looking at crap, and people who have bought s*** its just small crap that they could get any other day.

If it isn't a public holiday, why is everything shut?

Okay, maybe not everything but most normal stores that are open on Sunday are shut.

Majority of people will be spending their time eating lunch/drinking with relatives today, tomorrow everyone will be out looking for stuff to spend their money/free time on, like Boxing Day maybe?

You know what I see in the OP's post?
WHINGE WHINGE WAH WAH WAHHH.

Try getting called yelled at to go to work at 6:45am this morning because you're late (even though you were actually meant to be on a later starting time and not actually late) and having not slept for what is now 52 hours.

MAN UP M@#$F@#$.

[edit] Ooooh, I forgot that's after working the night before as well.
Totally smashed and tired off my tits, Only 10 more hours to legal insanity, woo! =]

I'm working tonight. Public holidays mean nothing to me anymore. Pay wise I get a salary so no double time or anything for me, although I always make sure I get paid more than the going rate (plus perks). I get confused when public holidays fall on weekends and then they move the days off to week days (usually the first monday) basically then the original day loses any meaning it had.
