[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how some people count getting ready for work and their commute and lunch as hours spent working. Therefore, I work 80 hours a week. I’m the most productive and important and incredible person where I work, and I still make all my kids events, volunteer rescuing puppies and fly to the Mediterranean every weekend to rescue immigrants from sinking boats.[/quote]

I’m hourly. As soon as I start my car I clock in with my vehicle computer. I get paid for my commute. I get paid for my hour lunch. I get paid to work out at the station. I get paid sitting in my car. I get paid when I stop at the gas station. I get paid while I get free carwashes. I get paid until I pull into my driveway and go off duty.

I’m sorry you’re a salaried employee. I can’t imagine not getting paid the moment I leave my house.[/quote]

And I can’t imagine getting shot at or burned to death as a known occupation hazard! I bet I am not alone in that![/quote]

I’ve never been shot at and I certainly don’t know anyone that was burned to death. The misconceptions about law enforcement are vast. About 5 times a month I pick up a crossing guard overtime assignment. It takes 45 minutes, but it’s mandated that we get paid 3 hours minimum for each overtime event. That’s over $290 for 45 minutes. The kids really enjoy seeing police officers.[/quote]
