...So, I've been at work since 1:00PM today.

[Ecrofirt]

I'm paid hourly at 7 hours a day. My shift is 8:30AM - 4:30PM with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. I also get paid overtime if I work more than 80 hours in a pay period.

I pull a lot of overtime, but I never really mark it off correctly. I'm always sort-of afraid my boss will start to question exactly why I'm working overtime so much. Now I'm certainly doing work during my overtime hours, that's not the issue. I'm just worried that he's going to think that my overtime has gone from me being a dedicated worker to me being sloppy and inefficient.

I mean shit, this week alone I worked until 7:00PM on Thursday and 8:00PM last night. And here I am again today with another 7 or so hours of work, and I'll likely be in tomorrow as well.

All in all, I may mark that I was here 3 extra hours on my schedule. I dunno. I'm just apprehensive about the whole thing.

Why would you willingly work for free? Are you mentally distinguished mentally-challenged?

It's an IT job at a university. And not one of those stupid fucking lab attendant jobs, but I work full-time in the IT department as "General Support Specialist". I deal with hardware /software and end users.

And Methodis:
While I know they'd pay me if I wrote down all my hours, I'm honestly really concerned about my boss getting pissed and thinking that I can't get my work done in an appropriate amount of time. What employer wants to shell out a ton of overtime money all the time? Were I in that position, I'd probably start looking for employees that could do their job in an acceptable amount of time.

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

Report every single minute dude. If he questions it, lay off on the OT. When he bitches that shit isn't done, tell him he was the one who complained about the OT. There is your justification and he will never bother you about it again.

If you have to work all these hours you should get paid everything you're owed.
