Have you ever had one of those Saturdays...

...where you are bone weary from the week, and all you want to do is sit in a chair, staring at a television screen watching college football, and you find out on Friday afternoon that you are being called in to work on Saturday, and Sunday?


Me too...

  4. That just plain sucks. We'll watch them for ya. Here's one quick hint -- that odor you detect is scorched Ugga fur!

    Maybe Mrs. Andy will make you some sort of fabulous sympathy dessert!

  6. My situation is usually more that I've got a deliverable and it has to be done no matter what that means, so I end up having to make myself work weekends. Last weekend I worked probably 20 hours on a key deliverable for Monday morning....

    This week I had another deliverable due Friday morning so had to work until they shut the system down at midnight, and then get up at 5:00 so I could work on it until 9:00 when it was due...

    My job is real flexible. I can work from home pretty much any time I want, so long as I get my 50 hours in.

  7. Intel assigns work in terms of 'deliverables' too...and they are typically lined up in a relentless stream deadlines and long days...

  8. Yeah, ain't it great? Nothing like after a long hard week, sitting down to watch a game and some idiot decides to burn their house down or roll their car or something like that. DVR helps, but invariably, some other idiot will blab the score to you. Yeah, I feel your pain!

  9. Two words why I left the vaunted practice of law: billable hours.

    (Translation: 24/7)
