I started at 4:00 am all week .. I figure I get up all times for fishing .. plus its OT .. Just wasn't cool falling a sleep at a major intersection yesterday with my foot on the brake . You gotta suc up the money while you can . Life is expensive.. Thats why I have a cheap hobby like fsihing ..

I love the occasional 30 hour days in IT. Though I do need to say that working for a public entity now that the longest day I've worked was about 12

I usually don't mind coming in, but it was decided yesterday afternoon that I'd be here overnight. Oh well, I got a lot done, and made some extra cash. 4 1/2 hours more to go

I was p*ssed when I had to work from home 8-10 today to test our IVR system. Our IT people work round the clock. That wouldn't be for me.

I'm glad i work lots of overtime.One good thing is that the place i work for installed IT sofware that prevented me from being on the net the last year or so.They had done this before but i had a backdoor but with this new sofware its impossible so i've been trying for a year now.Well staying late has payed off HAHAHAHAHAH.All i can say is that i'm glad i'm not to bright and thank God for Linux.
