This is the first weekend I’ve had to work in over a year, well literally work in the office…and it sucks. :uhh: FYI: This is 7.30-6 MTWTFSSMTWTF for me these two weeks. :tantrum: Oh well, I guess it shows a slight pick up in business, plus it looks good for me. Its still gay. :lol: So all you weekend workers chime in. ---

I had to go in to the office for 4 hours this morning, and I have about 5 hours of work that I have to have done this weekend for monday morning. I agree that it sucks, but I have always believed and have to this point proven that those who give the extra effort receive their just rewards in the end. My account base has expanded mostly to my boss handing me what I ask for, I tried to resign to take another job, they gave me a 17% salary increase and doubled my monthly bonus just to keep me on board. You are doing exactly what someone who is/wants to be successful would do, sure it sucks ass, but it never sucks to look back at those that you have climbed over due to your hard work and perseverance. ---
