8. Heh
I think for me it depended on what class it was and how much it was going to effect my career. Lord knows I wish I could go back and study a little harder sometimes ;-)

7. What line of work are you in?
Is what you're doing at all keeping you awake?

17. No OT for 14+ hours?
Wow. That's not kosher. I say that if Ivy league grad students can form unions, so can you!

But seriously, was this sort of time commitment part of the job description?

16. I'm in the same boat (ARGGH)
Edited on Tue Mar-30-04 11:55 PM by mobuto
I start a job soon that will require me to work 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Its short term (a few months), I'll be exempt from labor laws, and I'll get paid very well, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

19. Try Buying You First Car
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 09:06 AM by Don_G
From an "out-of-state" owner through a bank. I was up for four days straight.

I did have a lot of fun in the sports car though....
