Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Too bad you don't get overtime, though. It was worth being a humble, undercredentialed "non-professional" - even though I was usually the only experienced employee in State and Municipal Taxation - when those time-and-a-half plus weekend bonus checks came in.
And also when I could say, "Boss says I don't have to come in Sunday, because I cost too much. Leave anything y'all don't understand on my desk, and I'll look at it first thing Monday."
That's great! Well, no OT, but they did try to make it up to us this year by giving us more than one day comp :0)
