... suck. Going on hour 16 at the office right now, been here since 8am. Damn report going out tonight (and fyi, it's being reviewed now, so I can be on here )

Good luck man. Just imagine how great it's gonna feel to hit the bed when you get home!

Wow, thats gayer than AIDs

Would feel a lot better if I didn't have to be back here about 8 hours from now! Suck. Oh well. Could be a lot worse.

My fiance and I are going through the same thing right now. She's an accountant and she leaves the house at around 7:30 every morning and she doesn't get home until around 10:30 at night.

I'm a teacher and coach baseball (I also have an hour drive each way) I leave the house at 5:15 in the morning and get home at around 8:15 every night. It sucks!!! Once baseball an busy season are over though, we'll be back to our regular schedules...hopefully!

Did you get the memo? Don't forget the cover page on your TPS reports.

Try living on a farm.

I hear ya. I worked every day in February. It just makes me feel beat down by the end.

Paid hourly or salary? I always liked to ruin the whole day if I was going to work. My preference is 4 12 hour days over 5 10 hour days.

Salaried -- and it's usually 5 11-12 hour days. FFT, I don't think I could function w/o my weekends (I'm still gripping to that bastion of sanity)

The weekends are the worst. Working long days during the week sucks, but what really sucks is to get a call at 8.00a on Saturday morning with a bunch of work to do. That's just demoralizing.

I feel your pain. I usually leave the house @ 7am and don't get home until 4:30pm.

A girl at my hotel quit with no notice a few months ago so I was working some 16 hour days...most back to back. It was no fun. Almost every single guest asked me if I ever got to go home. That got old.

A normal workweek for me is about 60 hours. There are times when it is much more, not too many when it is less unless I take vacation or a day off.

Pretty much the same here. I don't often work 80+ hour weeks, but I'd say 90% of my weeks are between 50 and 70 hours. It's just the constant working at slightly elevated levels that's a killer. Doing one terrible week here or there isn't that big of a deal, but doing slightly long-ish weeks constantly for a year and a half just wears me down.

I used to work seven 12-days (one week on, one week off) when I was in operations for a transportation company. You'd alternate day and night shifts. The week off was nice (especially coming off an week of overnights), but during the last couple of days of a working week you were a zombie.

On a different note, methinks working a 40 hour week and traveling long distances on top of that is much worse than working a 55-60 hour week in your office. Something about being away from home wears you down - you can never really kick back and relax while you're away. A four-day trip to Seattle or Portland wears my ancient ass out for two weeks.
