    I just passed hour 10 of overtime for the day.
    Yesterday did 7 and the day before almost 10.

    Im drained and there is no sign of an end for today. So anyone have any idea of what I can do on the net to keep from falling asleep. I normaly run on coffe so taking in more simply does not help anymore.


    As a bonus I will give some sort of reward (something for a newbie) for the one that can correctly guess or gets the closest to the actual total off overtime before I head home.

    *Ill organize a time to give the prize with the winner.



    Edit: I have been sitting for the last 4 hours simply waiting on HP to do their part so I can finish my part.

    I used to 12 hours a day on weekends as overtime in a vegetable freezing plant on the dirt belt, if you know machinery I mean then you've also experienced the fun fun fun ;)

    I tell you, if you saw some of the things that I did going down that conveyor you wouldn't tuck into frozen vegetables again.

    0.o did i get that right?

    41 hours overtime? on the last days?

    what does the law allow at your place?
    that would make your company be in a situation of constant 8 hours max work within next month on average.
    and a constant free time to get that down again.

    our is it your own company?
