    Default 60 hour weeks

    I am now working 60 hours or more a week 6 days a week. I may be dying...... I love each and every one of you.

    In all seriousness to go from doing essentially nothing all day and lying around in a vegetative state to this is killing me.

    You must be killing it in overtime pay, which is always sweet. On the other hand, a 60-hour week is Khal Drogo level brutal, for which you have my sympathies.

    Not the kind of job that logs overtime pay im a field director for a congressional campaign during a primary so just brutal hours and I operate on salary based pay. Plus my boss is my ride (im out of state) so I work as long as he works.

    You have my sympathy. I've just done the reverse, and it is, shall we say, sheer bliss! =)

    Back in the 80s I did a whole year of double shifts. Nearly bloody killed me. Made enough to buy a new car though.

    I remember my first day off. I dropped the little Apaches off at school, went home and then paced around the house, I literally couldn't switch off.

    Would I do it again?

    Not sure TBH.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Aye, comrade. Work is the curse of the drinking class.
