I'd love 17.5 hours of overtime.

Lol it's definitely nice when we get a good storm. I have had many weeks where I have had over 100 hours of OT. And the trip to New York for Hurricane Sandy was a couple good paychecks as well.

Christ, we get yelled at in my company if we have like 2.5 hours of O/T. Sometimes being in a small business sucks. Other times though it has it's perks.

We get 5 hours every week anyway. But when it comes to restoring peoples power, it doesn't matter how many hours of OT you get.

I had 17 straight days on Sandy. 119HRS a week of OT. The checks were great (what Uncle Sugar left after taxes anyway) but getting 5 or so hours of sleep each night and maintaining your fine motor skills and cognitive reasoning capabilities is a challenge. Especially when your or someone else's life may well literally hang in the balance. That said, I love storm. I just got released 15 minutes ago. 7hrs today. I can post some pics if anyone is interested.

Idk who you work for but I doubt it'll pay 14.20 plus amazing benefits to barely exert myself. Plus I'll going to be going back in the fab shop soon, that's more money to weld all day
