here is a small work dilemma.

Posted by amanda Oct 1 '09, 07:12

most campuses close at 3:00 on fridays. this is an unofficial rule. if you ask a campus, they will say that they're open until 6:00.

I start at a new campus on 10/26. I have two flight options home: leave at 4:30 ($200 cheaper, gets me home 4 hours earlier), or leave at 7:10 (cheaper, far later).

what do you do?

I think I say "the earlier flight option was far less costly. if it's a problem in the future, I'll book later flights."

also perhaps important to note is that most people with my job arrive at work by 1pm on monday; I arrive when the campus opens. so I have some leverage there if I really need to use it.

just think, you could have to walk or even hitchike -- nm - OAE si Oct 1, 07:28
I think you are okay with the early flight. Do you know when your peers are leaving? - ty97 Oct 1, 07:23 5
- we're all at different campuses. I know *this,* though: the guy who's at my new campus now works monday 1 pm to friday noon. so anything I do beyond - amanda Oct 1, 07:29 4
