I leave early nearly every Friday. I don't work a single weekend ever and never a holiday. I do get comp time on the occasional stint that we work past 5pm.

My job often sucks as far as subject goes. I mean I do shoot video of politicians but I took the job because of what I wrote above. I gotta live my life.

I wish I could say the same, but my job does require overtime and some call in work. Especially when the plant is in an outage or something bad happens on my equipment. I believe when I transfer to Hydro, most of this will disappear since I will be on projects/new modifications side of the house and not as much deadline pressure.

My job currently sucks hard as far as stress and subject. It's incredibly detailed and regulation oriented. Way too much paperwork. The job I have is hardly engineering, more like data clerk with a little engineering thrown in. Definitely not what I want to do, the new job should be much more interesting and getting back into true electrical engineering.
