This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Try 10 to 12 hours outside working. If you work outdoors, you ain't doing no measly 8 hours as a rule.
Disagree; most people that work outside are still working for a wage, and OT pay kicks in once you break 40 hours in a week. That limits most places to 8 hours, unless you're talking about undocumented immigrants that don't have any labor protections, or people that are self-employed in some way.
You've never been on a construction job site meeting a deadline have you? Been there, done that, got the tan, and I wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
Yeah, I have, and I got stiffed out weeks of pay I was owed because it was with a fly-by-night contractor that had a nose-candy problem. ...Which is why I don't do that any more. (Plus, he insisted on doing shit in the most backassward, bullshit way. I'll be surprised if his shit doesn't kill someone some day.)
If you work for a reputable company--not as a 1099 contractor, which is self-employed--then you probably have to be paid overtime pay. If you get a W2, and you're not getting OT when you have to put in more than 40 hours in a week, then you need to consult with an employment attorney.
