Carla when are they gonna learn how inefficient all this overtime is? They have to pay you time and a half when they could just pay straight time if they actually hired enough people to do the work!
I TOTALLY agree!  I feel so bad about wasting government money like that when there are so many people needing jobs.  Actually, Tinker has been hiring more mechanics (temporary, contractor employed) to help with the workload, but they won't hire more office workers & we have to be there to make sure the workload gets scheduled & approved & that parts are planned & ordered.
I'm working the overtime, but I request compensatory time instead of overtime pay.  I don't get paid the overtime money, but I do get to take a day off when they let me.  I intend to take many Fridays off in the spring & summer & hopefully go to garage sales, flea markets & POULTRY AUCTIONS in 2010 !!!!!!!
