It asserts that the world is getting fatter while America is getting slimmer based on literally nothing other than the anecdotes of a TV chef. Oh media, you gotta love it.
My only beef with fiosim's result is that you have to answer that you disagree with the comment that giving gay people more rights is progress. I say everyone should be equal.
If you were paid appropriately for your overtime, there's no problem there. If you don't want it to happen in the future, you can politely request that the workload be spread out the next time he asks. If you're on a contract that pays for 20 hours a week and you worked 37, though, I would personally have a problem with that, and would indeed approach my boss and respectfully ask that it not happen again unless my contract was amended to provide adequate compensation for nearly double the workload.

Thank you for your advice pianist. It's the latter, whereby i'm contracted to work 20 hours a week but have been scheduled to do 37. I've decided to go in and have a word on my way to my lectures. :)
Do you mean 37 by how many hours your gonna work or thats how many hours overtime your getting?
How many total hours. So that's my usual 20 + 17 extra. My problem is i initially thought 'oh man, that's what i get for agreeing to overtime...' but now all my co-workers are saying it's outrageous but to me it just doesn't seem like THAT big a figure to warrant going to the boss and complaining about it, y'know? It sits right on the line i think between fair and unfair, so it's totally on me to decide which way i want to go. I just thought i'd see what you guys thought to see if your reaction went with 'that's unfair' or 'dammit... that's life.'To determine what I would really think, what is your occupation? I'm in university studying law, i just work part-time at a clothes store as a sales assistant to pay my way. :)
So you're getting 17 hours more overtime? I don't see the problem unless you don't want to work an extra 17 hours lol/CoolSkAGuy
Because it's meant to be a part time job, and 37 hours is A LOT and i didn't really want to do all that. I just think i may have been exploited a little in that he just said so off-hand 'a bit of over time' when really it's practically double what i'd do in my working week and he didn't consult me about it at all.

Hello gaiz. Sorry about making a thread with little discussion value, however i could really use your help. In order to help, i need only that you answer the following question: Say you work a job doing 20 hours a week. One day, off-cuff, your boss says 'hey are you available to do a bit of over time next week?' You think for a second or two then reply 'yeah, that's fine'. Your boss walks off, you go about your day. The next day you check your hours - now, based on the question, what number of hours would you reasonably expect to see? Remember you normally do 20 which is a part time job and you've agreed to 'a bit of overtime'. Put the number you'd expect to see, roughly, in your head then click: [spoiler] The chart says 37! :o [/spoiler] What was your reaction to the spoiler?
[QUOTE="michaelt7"]so how do you think the judge is going to react when they see they admited to firing bullets in the air while driving in a residential area GrandJury
Hopefully the judge will see a bunch of dumb ass teenagers who need time in jail to think about their actions. The thing is though that prisons are so over crowded and under-funded as they are that the courts tend to only send people who have committed serious or malicious crimes to jail, rather than people who have clearly done wrong but done so out of misguided stupidity.
