Always low man on the totem pole
This new job is awesome, but it's killing me. My scheduled shift is from 1pm to 9:30pm, but due to weather delays I didn't get out until after 1am. To make matters worse I didn't get a break during that entire time to even sit down for 5 minutes until well after 9pm. Needless to say I was not happy when it came time to clean the plane and struggled through frustration to get it done.
I've since written to bring this to light, as for the past working week I'm by law required to get a half an hour break and have yet to recieve one. I'm so sore by the end of the night and when I take my shoes off, my feet swell. I'm all for working hard, but I still need breaks. This is rediculous.
I'm happy with the overtime, as it helps me with all those lovely future bills, I'm just not happy about not getting a damn break so I can get through the overtime without that voice in the back of my head convincing me to throw in the towel because I'm overheated, exhausted and starving.
I could easily go for another couple hours of sleep now.
