[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 613203, member: 84"] Thank you jal. Yes, I know. I plan to use it too. :) But the overtime will help that pinch while I'm doing the waiting period. I don't have anything to pinch, so I am not going to kick a gift horse in the mouth. I'm a little surprised, though. This is normally our dead period. Overtime doesn't normally start until sometime in January when we start filling spring orders. I dunno why but I have a strong sneaky suspicion this is the companies way of helping us temp employees survive those days off without it hurting us.....as well as having a little extra maybe for the holidays. I dunno, maybe it is the Elf in me. I do know we were bought out, but don't know by whom as it's being kept top secret. I do know that orders that didn't exist a couple of weeks ago suddenly developed into needing several million candles by January right after we saw people surveying the plant. So maybe it is the new owners way of helping the temps out. Regardless, I'm grateful. Just messes with my holiday schedule something horrible. [/QUOTE]
