|  #1 Posted on 6.10.06 0825.43 | Instant Rating: 6.39 | I'm currently working the most I've EVER worked in my life, so thank God I'm hourly. I'm not so sure I could take salary-paying job, because my personality is such that I wouldn't take the easy times and not work as much, I think.

Salary. Luckily for me, I dont have to work late very often and the times I do are usually outweighed by the times I get to go home early.

| #4 Posted on 6.10.06 0924.31 | Instant Rating: 4.96 | Salary. If I'm 20 minutes late nobody notices, but I'll make it up later to sooth my own conscience. My boss actually lets me off 45 minutes early to teach a class at the Technical College a couple of days each week as long as I make up the time by coming in early or taking a very short lunch on those days. For me, it's a much more relaxed way to work.

Best part is now I can finally stay current on my expenses. As long as I don't buy anything extravagant, like a house or car or PS3 or groceries, I might be out of debt before I die.

This is me almost to a "T" with the exception that my boss doesn't ask that I come in early or shorten lunch to make up for my early teaching departures.
At the same time, if I need to come in and finish something on a weekend I do so without being prompted and without grumbling so it does even out a little.

|  #11 Posted on 6.10.06 1817.49 | Instant Rating: 6.96 | | I get an hourly rate, but only get paid for 36.25 hours a week. Anything over that goes into accrued time, so I can take a day off if I accrue enough hours. I have plenty of accrued time, but I don't take many days off. If there's organised overtime, like a hardware rollout or something, I get paid overtime for that, but that has to be approved by my boss's boss. | drjayphd

Salaried, and I don't get overtime. Well, I could, but then I'd get written up. -_- The mileage helps a bit.

And I usually go for all the overtime I can. That's what you do when you make as little money as I do.
