So this week I was able to work 2 red shifts plus my 3 regular shifts. That equals to about 20 hours of overtime! Plus extra shift differentials! I'm also signed up for another red shift next wed night. So I had someone ask me if I wanted their on call for Sunday night, but I declined. Already committed to volunteering at church, and I'm beginning to think my kids might be forgetting what I look like this week. But I had a day shifter ask me if I wanted her on call on Tuesday. She even said she would love it if I would even just be willing to take the second half of the shift for her. She has some babysitter issues and needs to be able to pick up her kids after school that day. So I'm thinking I might do it. I still get to take my girls to school that day, get to hang out with Tiger and hubby for a while, and then maybe go into work for 5 hours(of which on call pay for when you actually get called in is time and a half) and still make it to Flavour(our women's bible study/ministry at our church) a little late. I will also get to tuck in the kiddos into bed. So all I'm missing out on is a few hours in the afternoon. This could mean a whole months worth of Wells Fargo bathroom payment. Tim thinks I should rest after working so much, and I do believe I have my limits, but I'm off Sunday and Monday. Plus it's feast or famine here. Who know when I'll get the opportunity to work this much OT again. Gotta take it when you can get it, right? What is every one's thoughts on this?
I say get it while the getting is good! I feel like God creates opportunities like this to help us answer our prayers and you are right, never know when another chance will come up. Id go for every bit you can!
