I have got pretty good at guessing what the min required will be (just kidding, I assume it will be 88 hours) and then I make sure that I am going to get at least that. This month my line award was only 21 minutes over the min required. But that also means that I had a 19 hour 3 day removed and was awarded a 19.5 hour four day. So awesome that I get to work 1 more day just so the company could cram another 30 minutes into my schedule.
