Happiness and work Schedule
Computer Help Desk Operator - (City withheld for privacy), West Virginia, United States
Most IT jobs have the opportunity to work a variety of schedules. This is one of the best benefits about working in the IT field. I for instance work 4 ten hour days. This gives me three days off every week. If I want I can take one of my vacation days during the week and get four days off. I can do this often because other operators want OT. I get three weeks vacation every year, that equals 12 days for my ten hour a day schedule. I work Saturday-Tuesday 4pm to 2am. I then take a Saturday off and I don't have to be back to work until Sunday at 4pm. I leave Wednesday morning, fly somwhwere like Denver, Colorado. I get there around 3pm on Wednesday hang out and skii for three days. Then I fly back Sunday morning and get home about 3pm and go to work. The important aspect of a job is that its just a job and I know that working five days a week Mon-Fri is not for me. Is it for you?
