Waaahhhh! For crying out loud. I've been working 7 days a week for months. Most days are 10 to 12 hours. Not just a little spike in holiday retail activity. Month after month building a very complex information system for a customer on a hard deadline. I'm doing it 925 miles from home. Paying $1200 per month for the privilege of being employed and not seeing my family most of 2011. I've been home for two visits this calendar year. One for my 33rd wedding anniversary. One for my son's wedding. Lots of whining for a few extra peak hours is falling on deaf ears here.
You and I are in similar situations. 40 hours is a 3 day thing for me, as well... crunch time and it takes only 2 days to do 40 hours.
It’s funny in a sad way, isn’t it?
