D**m, that is a lot of hours. The most that I've generally had in a two week period was around 220 or so. Averaged 106 hours per week for 6 straight weeks (45 straight days with no time off at about 15 hours per day). Biggest paycheck that I've had and used the proceeds to pay my house off ($13,000+ payment from the 6 weeks pay).

wow you got overtime? ive worked months of 70s and a few 90s and never got a dime extra, since programming is professional and thus exempt from OT

1. A gladiator can kill a tiger...easily
2. You are jealous

tigers are 10000 times stronger than us. i am confident i would die a horrible death to a tiger. i know how to fight against wild animals, particularly dogs, but still, no dog is anything like a tiger.

It's not that it's professional, it's just sadly been merged into one of the salaried professions exempt from overtime.

For nearly 15 years but was cut out completely in June of 2008. Was good while it lasted.

It's really up to your employer whether you are salary exempt or salary non exempt. Our rule was anything over 45 qualified you for overtime pay for ALL over 40. If you have to work over, might as well make it 45 or more just to get paid for it all.

I don't see why some of you were mad at the OP's paycheck. He did not steal, cheat, or lie to get it so more power to him.

That's because success is now evil in America. It is attacked constantly.

Since when do gladiators fight with their bare hands?

Sheeeeit.

The government gave me an $8000 check last year for just signing my name on a line. 0 work required.

Haters gonna hate.

Ballers gonna...ball...I guess? :eek:
