Yeah I know, and I said that a couple paragraphs up. I think that was largely university employees and the rest of us were pretty ticked about it. Not because we couldn't, but because they weren't doing their part to help the budget deficit. 

SEIU 503 contract I was under, and my management, were very strict with overtime, requiring special permission to get it and only if it was unavoidable. I think I had 1 or 2 hours of OT during that time, and used it as Comp time, not extra pay.
