I use to install insulation in houses under construction in VT that sucked. any construction job blows this time of the year. do you at least get bonus pay for hostile work environment?

im doing electrical in the new addition at Laconia Middle school...The building isnt sealed up yet, windows arrive in 6 WEEKS! the school is right on the lake, so wind is UNBELIEVABLE. As long as you move around you are warm though, today i had 6 layers on and i was still feeling a little nippley

i work 7-3:30, one 30 min coffee break in the morning, then 1 hour break for lunch. I like this schedule, but when i work on service, i get paid $7.50/hr waiting on call. Which is pretty cool for doing nothing, but then when i get called to go somewhere i make like double what i make for construction. Hours such though during service, my boss would call me at wierd hours to make sure im awake and at my phone. I like it though.
