Closest I've been is about 92 hours charged, but over 100 if you could time I wasn't working, like going to lunch, eating dinner, starbucks run or whatever.

Every tax season I get maybe one of those weeks while hte rest tend to fall in the 65-75 hour range.

Been programming my site and setting up and operating my new business.

What is your business? What do you sell, specifically?
I call shens

See my sig.

Cool. Not that you really care, but I created the ecommerce platform for Entertainment many years back along with some of their vendors. Did a lot of later integration work, etc. A lot of the vendors were making a very good income with little actual effort. Obviously you're taking that to another level, but there seems to be plenty of opportunity in that market space. You know all that though

Good luck with your endeavor.

Hey, thanks. You know, your work in entertainment is interesting. I had an idea at one time to create a company that would find new music talent, get them recorded and distribute their music via internet. Sort of an underground, or independent effort that would treat artists they way they should be treated and get their music out the way the public wants. But it was way over my head as far as applicable experience is concerned and would have required millions of dollars to finance it the way it should be done. I would have really liked to have done it though. If I could have started on something like that several years ago when I had the idea, the whole landscape of downloading music might well have been changed by now. I still wish someone would do it because while there's a lot of music available from downloading sources, it's all still the same old, same old from the music industry.

Your body is going to fail on you pretty soon. Get some rest, seriously.

ive worked 2 jobs (80 hours) for 15 months now, last week was a 95 hour week. But my one job is downsizing next week anyway so i dont have to worry about it anymore, and i guess they are giving us an "attractive" severance package.

40 hours and I leave work @ work.

nobody could work that much at my job and be effective or sane. one would be wasting one's time or actually be damaging things by trying to work more 50 hours in a week. the supervisors are very cautious about making sure people take care of themselves and don't over-work for this reason.
