My boss: How late are you planning on staying?
Me: I don't know - I'm on a roll, and if I have the information I need, I may stay a bit to finish up. If I don't have everything, I'll send out info requests and go home. Are you kicking me out?
No, but someone needs to kick [name of hourly co-worker] out soon. Administrators can stay as late as they like.
(laughing) Right - kick out the expensive time-and-a-half people, but let the people whose wages essentially go down for every hour of unpaid overtime they work stay as long as they want.
Yep.
********************
I'm going home now. It's only been eleven hours...Monday it was twelve. Suddenly, I'm not feeling so guilty about the two days this week I was out sick this week, since I already have one of them fully made up. Grateful as I am for good, steady work, I could really use a smidge less of it.
