How often do you work overtime

I work 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. My boss is a real stickler for people not working over time because staff that works over time really cuts into the budget we have for the year which means we may come up short whenever we look at the books. She really is trying to cut down on the amount of people that are working because we've been overstaffed on several occasions so some people have gotten time off without pay. That's fine for those people but I really needed the money so I've opted to work when I could of had time off. An 8 hour shift about kills me so there is no way that I'd be able to work a lot of over time. I'm sure I could handle about an extra hour or so of work but I'm not sure I could put in 3 or 4 hours of work. I'm too tired and ready for the day to end when 5:30 comes.

If i had a job i might actually work over time, right now i am unemployed so i am trying to make the best of it online by doing little things like mylot and of course writing articles for different websites that i like to write for. I am looking for a job but its hard to do when you don't have a lot of experience in the field that are hiring. I work a hard couple of hours on the internet a day and i at least try to write an article for some website in that day of working so i can earn from it and that's important to me.
