is this normal???

is it normal for a regular person (stock no mods! ) to work 16 hours a day? and thats every saturday and sunday!

as you may know my posting rate has been goin up really fast! and thats because i work 16 hours a day! and thats 36 hours a week just weekends! so almost a full week of full time labour on 2 days!!!! now i get really bored sitting behind a computer for 16 hours and this is one of the many stuff i do! for example this thread is being typed in exactly after 14 hours and 7 minutes of work with only 20 minutes of official break!( I don't really have to do any thing during my 16 hours of work) if i had i wouldn't be writing this and 20-30 other posts that i had today! not to mention all the game sites, ebay, jokes ....!

i'm really sorry if i don't make any sense! i'm just plain bored and want to go home, but have another hour and 50 minutes left!


if you have msn messenger please add me (saturn_one@msn.com) and talk to this poor guy as he is stuck behind this computer his whole weekend!

my weekend! get up->go to work->go home sleep->get up->go to work->go home sleep->get up->go to school!!!


:cry: :cry: :cry:

WTF????? why on earth are you 2 complaining about office jobs.... they are the best for just the reasons you guys stated ...

1) don't have to work hard

2) half the time is spent browsing the internet (sometimes ull work weeks )

3) read (A book) if your done reading the internet

4) if you hate it so much then give it up I personally know of 2 people that have free weekends and would love to sit and do next to nothing in an office

^^^^HAW HAW...


Hey man welcome to my world, I only work 8 hour shifts, but my job requires 10 mins of work every hour, so the remainder 50mins every hour I have, this computer/internet, and satalite TV to keep me sain(provided by the company)... Its really boaring between 5am-8am, and 6pm-10pm (rest of the staff in the building shows up at 8 and leaves at 6) So theres noone to bug during those hours... This job is all about perks, money is ok, but I really dont mind showing up for work, unlike most of my previous jobs... Its kinda like being at home, except I cant get drunk...lol
