I’m really lucky to work at a place that has a lot of overtime hours available.
The boss lets us make a flexible schedule. If I want to work 20 hours during the week because I have a lot of things going on, the boss doesn’t mind. If I want to work 60 hours the next week to make up for the time that is perfectly fine as well. I only get overtime for all of the hours that are over 80 during the two week period, but I can get as many as I want. I have been working several extra 8-hour shifts every week at the recreational and medical marijuana dispensary, because I want to save up money to buy a ring for my girlfriend. I went to the mall to look at a bunch of different engagement rings and I found out that the ring is going to cost a lot more money than I anticipated. I thought I could probably find something that would cost about $1,000, but my girlfriend isn’t going to be happy with a cheap ring that doesn’t have any meaning. I want her to know how hard I will work for our relationship and that means that I will work hard now to save up the money to buy the engagement ring. I can get up to 16 hours of extra shifts at the recreational and medical marijuana dispensary and I should be able to save up the money for the ring by Christmas. Our anniversary is in January and that would be the perfect time to propose.
