    With football playoffs tonight, I would imagine quite a few of us are working, no?

    Worked last night, working tonight, working Saturday. But I'm getting paid LOTS of money for doing it.

    Vermont football playoffs ended 2 weeks ago. Our New Hampshire team ended on the same day. It's nice to have a 2-3 week break.

    That's the one saving grace...I'm getting paid OT for this. And the better news is I'll have my Little Man for the night when I get off today.

    Off tonight. 10 year high school reunion awaits. I am equally anticipating it and dreading it.

    Big high school football night, in terms of the stakes of the games.

    But only 5 games total.

    I wish our paper paid OT for holidays. :(

    Isn't it illegal for them not to?

    We get owed days.

    Actually, I guess we kind of get overtime because one day is a five-hour day instead of eight. But we get paid for 8. However, I was off that day (Wednesday) and worked an eight-hour shift on Thursday.

    You should still be getting time-and-a-half for working the holiday, plus a day off.
