started 12 hour shift today, who else is working today?

[Adul]

I came in at 8 AM and it is now only 9 am. Ugh... Glad I got tomorrow off as a holiday. Now to just keep myself busy for today. Sucks I am the only one in the datacenter right now.

internet services ftl!

I worked yesterday, am working today, and will be working tomorrow/tuesday as well.

at least yesterday was double time and I'm working from home today (and probably tomorrow depending on snow)

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I'm working. Worked yesterday too. I didn't even mind because I hate family get togethers anyways.

Not today but most likely 12's all next week. Was supposed to be off all week but the jobs are behind and that puts me in position to get them ready. *sigh*. I might go in today after my wife leaves (she's going to visit her parents for a few days) and see if I can get something done. At the very least, I'll crack open the laptop and code from home tonight.

Sorry that you're working Adul!

ah well it gives me time to catch up on some problem tickets I need to update. I hate third party support of some of our customer applications. PITA!

I feel for you. That last time I did that was around 2005 (end) and it was 42 straight days at 15+ hours per day. Rough shit.

Was supposed to but took a vacation day, it was use it or loose it. As luck would have it the weather went down the crapper and will likely miss a bonus eight hours of inclement weather pay. Considering the 32 hours of holiday pay on this check it would just be taxed anyways.

Ouch, I don't think I have worked more than 16 days straight. Any of that from home by chance?

No. I was going in between 3 and 4 am (sometimes 5) and getting off between 7 and as late as 11pm. I averaged 106+ hours per week for that 6 week period. I took the money (all overtime at that point) and paid my house off on my birthday the next month (January).

Nice to have a house all paid for.
