I'm A Slave To The Dollar

So my other boss on Friday said that overtime was available tomorrow/Monday, aka Memorial Day.  And I don't know if this is federal law or company policy or something they just decided to do only for this occasion, but it's double time.

So yes, even though it's a holiday and I planned to stay at home without even opening my door, I cannot pass up working for twice the amount of money I usually get paid for.  The main thing I am doing for myself is waking up whenever and rolling into work whenever.  I will get my sleep in.  That means that I don't know for how long I plan on working.  It probably will be dictated on what work is there.  But I see myself not wanting to put in a whole eight hours because that is a bit too long to work on a holiday.  Maybe just less than six, so I don't have to punch out and then punch back in for a lunch break.

But I wonder: If there is enough work, could I stay more than eight hours?  If that's the case, once I surpass eight, that would be time-and-a-half on top of double time -- which would be triple time!  Man, should I go for it?  Nah, I probably would catch crap from my bosses.  But it's a cool thought for someone who's a slave to the dollar, isn't it?
