The Maximalist changes her mind on work

I work every weekend, twelve hours on Saturday and again on Sunday. For this effort, I maximalize my hourly rate. I get 150% of my official hourly rate so I work 24h and get paid for 36h. I also get five days off. A vacation every week, get considered full-time for benefits and the like. What's not to love?

Well, perhaps I am setting a bad example to all the other budding maximalisti out there who believe they should work less, too?

So as of today I will add at least one day per pay period and get paid for 40 hours a week. I will only have to work 28h/week to do this. Work 28h get paid for 40h. Still a nice deal. In the unlikely event I work 40h/week I would be paid for 52h. Nice arrangement any way you slice it and sets a better example, I think.

The garden is well underway and I have no pressing household matters to which I must attend. I will be adding time on an ad hoc basis, so I can always not augment my income.

Seems like "the right thing to do".

Your "make hay while the sun shines" Maximalist.

Have a glorious weekend!
