No OT

Today at work is “no overtime day”. That means that all the workers that usually work until 10 pm are required to leave by 5 or 6 pm. That’s right – they are forced to go home and be with their families. I think it is great, and the employees also seem to like the system. The only problem is that their workload is so much that it is a very stressful day for them to finish up before 5 pm.

What this means for me is that I almost never have any students coming in after my classes end for “office hours”. So I’m guessing I’ll be home early tonight. Last night I made Thai fried rice with red, orange and yellow peppers. Tonight, I have no idea what I’m going to make. When you are the only one eating the sky is really the limit. I’ll probably spend an hour or so all together today thinking about what to make. These are the stresses in my life.

I’m leaving my jacket and umbrella at home and going to work in the sunshine today. Looking forward to some good weather for a change.
