I am a glutton for punishment. I just don't get it. I make my mind up that I'm simply not going to come in on the weekends any more. There is just too much stress for not enough reimbursement. But lo and behold, here I go again. I think I'm to loyal for my own good. The moment a boss says "I need this by Monday when I come in" to which I reply, "I can't finish it by tonight."
He'll respond with "But then I won't have the pipe ready for when my guys get to the job site," and that's all it takes to get me into the office on my weekends. I even have to break (well bend) plans that I had with a friend of mine.
I don't know why that line works on me so well, but it does. Every god damn time we get behind I have to put in extra hours so the guys in the field don't have to wait for a half of a day and I don't even fight it! I'm not right in the head. *sigh* I bet I'd be like this even if I won the Lotto but still wanted to work so I don't go insane.
That's it, I'm done, I'm not going to complain any more. Good night all.

Time to update the resume, no? That sounds like a crappy boss.
You mean, if I want you to do ANYTHING, the magic words are: "But then I won't have the pipe ready for when my guys get to the job site"??? Wow, thanks for the tip. I'm going to remember that verbatim.
