Same here.  Working on a game for our 2 years OSHA safe for the employees.  They come up with a safety slogan.  No one will know whose slogan is whose besides myself.  We'll have the employees vote on the slogan and the winner gets the slogan on the safety T-Shirt we hand out a $50 gift card to the winner.

Back to back 16 hour work days has me very sluggish today.  Luckily my boss and coworker are offline so I can slack a bit.  I just completed my only major work I needed to get done today.  Although I expect more soon, but I think I am going to do my best to lay low and go to bed early tonight.

Damn, 16 hour days for the lose. I don't think I've ever gone worse than maybe 13, 13.5 hours in the office and that was just once. I used to routinely work 13 hour shifts at the restaurant though.

I may be off work but I'm always receiving calls or dealing with something.  I knew what I was getting into but sometimes it sucks.

12 hour days were the norm for me for awhile.  My boss has been dropping lots of notes of the upcoming work and it looks like I could be going back to doing 12 hours normally.  Looks like we are going to be moving data centers and upgrading all our switches to support 100G connections.  I just installed these brand new $75k switches to support 100G circuits to connect our data center to the internet.  Got to keep up with the Joneses (aka Google and Facebook in our case).

You guys are making me glad I'm pretty much 9-6 every day and they haven't saddled me with a work-enabled phone yet.

12 hours of work a day? That's brutal! And how long is travel on top of that?

My commute is about an hour and ten minutes each way, but part of that is just waiting in between my shuttle to/from the train station and the train.

Especially once you factor in 1+ hours each way, that doesn't leave much time for you guys to blob!

My commute is 40 minutes without traffic, but that's never the case (unless I am working till 2am like I have been).  It's typically around 50-60 minutes each way.

But I get OT so all those extra hours enables me to go on vacations and see concerts.  I told myself I was unlikely to do another vacation this year, but now that I'm seeing all this OT $, maybe I will.

The commute piece isn't as bad for me since I have music playing the whole time and on the shuttle/train I can either be on the internet on my phone or reading a book or napping, but yeah if I go through a stretch with a lot of weekend plans (such as I have for the last month or so) then blobbing time becomes in short supply :(

I blob at work  :biggrin: I mean, it's fairly clear from my posting here that I'm not constantly working or anything.  There's usually enough downtime for me to blob on the clock.  Right now I am watching the live talk the thrones (game of thrones commentary) on twitter.   My commute is fine as long as the traffic isn't bad.  I get to listen to music or sports radio, but if the traffic is bad, I get really frustrated.

I work often by myself or just with my one coworker in a data center in new jersey just outside new york city (the rest of the company is in our office in NYC), I build it, keep it online, and tear it down when its run its course.

I slept until 11am today. It was wierd because even on a day off like today... I still get woken up around 8am from work ... No emails or calls / texts came in though.

Then I see on FB that my supervisor took the day off.

So tomorrow I'm going to have a lot of shit to take care of.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

There was a job offer to work a data center right around the time I got hired at Wells, sometimes I wish I took it, but it was less pay, significantly less pay. 4 10's would've been amazing though.

Evening, gents.

Things starting to get a bit grim on the job front...10% layoff early next week.  In the last 3.5 years, this will make the 5th round of this I will have been through (including a site closure, and multiple integrations).  I know I'm safe, but this is just grueling.  Sigh.
