Who else is getting slammed for year end right now

[Cos]

Not really anything specific just wondering who else is getting slammed for year end. I have 2 weeks until my crews break for christmas and we have a crap ton of work that needs to be go live on Jan 1.

So far this week have worked 50 hours and not sure how much farther I am going to have to go.

Like I said not really anything specific, just wondering who else is busy as shit prior to xmas. I cant wait until I get a nice break and drink my face off with turkey and presents.

What are you pushing for at work right now?

I work 60-70 hours a week on a regular basis, don't bitch about 50! :D

[Cos]

Sorry I should correct myself. That was 50 hours in the field. Office work is usually around 50 for me.

Also I still have tomorrow ;)

I like my new job, its cushy in comparison to my last. Only 10 hours a day. :clap:

^^ what did you do? what do you do now?

[seer_claw]

13 hour days, working 10-4 shift so its really busy. Plus my cross-shift got promoted so I'm trying to do the work of 2 people....not succeeding very well right now. I'm guessing that Christmas will slow down for a week as everyone won't be around but after that it will be nuts again.

I was working for Kidco doing 12-14 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Now Im at Whissell, doing 10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Making more money too, so it evens out.

I do 12-14 hour days. 5-6 days a week all year round

Money is good, but lacking a life just isnt worth it for me. You only get one go around, why spend it making someone else rich?

[HiTempguy1]

Holy crap, I feel sorry for you guys. Of course, I earn dickall but only work 7.67 hours a day with a 1 hour lunch and 2 coffee breaks.

I did work a 16.5 hour day yesterday though... probably 6 hours of that was travelling though.

We just had a guy quit with no notice so everyone is picking up the slack for now. I work 4 on and 4 off normally, 12 hour days, but I am doing 6 and 2 until we find someone else. Good for the pocketbook, not great for having a life. I used to do 60 hour weeks when I worked for myself, 5 years of that burned me out though, I'm much happier now.

i agree completely, however gone so far down this path its hard to turn around. so ya stuck doing this till then. :nut:

[Iceman_19]

Im all about slamming, especially at year end. :bigpimp:

[Kirbs17]

I finally have a quiet week, after 6 months of 60 hour weeks. Jan 1 it will all start up again, and back to long weeks :(

[Proyecto2000]

I have been slammed since last week. Today I picked up another 15 stick diagrams, hopefully I dont get smacked with another dozen tomorrow becuase I still have around 5 to do from last week :rofl:

[wintonyk]

we just had one consultant quit at my work and both bosses are on holidays for the next two weeks. So for the next 2 weeks its 12 hour days with no breaks (with exception of 6 days off over next two weeks.

[TorqueDog]

Year end means nothing for IT people except that we need to get our expenses submitted a little sooner than usual.

i might only get a crappy salary for my 8 hours, but we are so dead, the next week i am playing video games against the boss on the boardroom projection! woo!

I'm working 6am - 6pm every day until Jan. 16th. Hoping for a half day off on Christmas and a half day off on New Years.

Atleast I'll have a month to relax in Thailand in Jan / Feb :poosie:

of course, but that's the car industry. You chose your grave, enjoy it

[jonnycat]

I haven't even had time until today to really even browse beyond. Year end blows, I didn't add too many hours though, just had to work harder each hour I was here.
