The labor laws in Oregon are a bit different, you only get paid overtime if you work more then 40 hrs. a week. It's doesn't matter how many you work in a day, just as long as you don't work more then 6 days in a row and you don't go over 40 for the weeks total.
I recently got home around 10am and I have to be back to work at 8pm tonight and work till around noon tomorrow. There was a bit of a mix up in the schedule and me being in SoCal this weekend, so somehow I ended up having to work this horrible shift. I am doing both the breads shift and the morning bake shift, 16 hrs and no over time! These hours are killing me, I no longer have a social life all I ever want to do is sleep yet still only get on avg. 4 hrs a night. The lack of sleep has made me dumb, I can never get out what I'm trying to say without forgetting what it is I was saying in the first place at least once (if that even made sence). Anyways, I'm really getting worn out by the hours I'm scheduled and needed to vent. I applied for 2 reception/admin. job in the past few days, one with an architecture firm downtown and the other for a property management company. I plan on contacting them tomorrow or Wednesday if I haven't heard from them, I really need a regular schedule again. For now, until I can land a gig at a specialty cakes shop, I am actively seeking a m-f 8-5 type job. I know, its probably silly since I gave that up to go to school, but I really didn't think these odd hours would take such a toll on me.
