Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[Lowrange2]

Damn limb fell out of a tree and sliced my fiber optic in half... No internet, TV or Telephone for me...

Had to wait to get to work to fuel my addiction.

Back in school again.... 20 credit hours, 50 hours a week at work... I'm gonna forget what the jeep looks like this semester ill be so busy

 

[Lowrange2]

I feel your pain. I did that for 3 years. No fun.

well the kicker is if i just buckle down and do it for 2 more i'll have a 4 year degree, then i can finally get good jobs that im already qualified for now :sure:

I couldn't imagine taking 20credit hours plus working. How's that even possible? Won't you run out of time in the day?

did it for 3 yrs @ Maryland-- the weekends get very busy with two jobs AND homework!

nope pack 4 classes in from 9-4 on tues and thurs, then the other 2 mwf and only take tues and thurs off of work.... it does suck but its the life ive gotten used to over the past few years

in college, I had a counselor ask me to do a time analysis...how much time I spent on each activity, each day. I came up with more than 24 hrs of activities each day....but I was young back then....

had I needed to commute from school to work and back, I would have been in the same boat, but I was working for the Resident Facilities Dept. on campus between classes. It made it tough to "skip" class or work, since I was already there for one or the other.

No free time on the weekends (working in a liquor store by day and tending bar at night) got really old by about this time every year!

Stick it out-- it's worth the effort if you can use your degree in your field and move up with it.

Don't miss that one bit. 18-20 hours and 50 hours a week of work between two jobs. Pretty sure I didn't sleep for about 2 years straight lol.

not when you consider sleep optional.

Isn't it like after 3 days of no sleep you start hallucinating?

 

[kastein]

Depends on the person, general state of health, and how well rested you were when you started. It took around 2 to 2.5 days for me but I'd only been getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night for about 6 months.

 

[bigalpha]

I'm certain you are some type of robot.

 

[kastein]

You aren't the only one who thinks that.

For the record, my spine does not glow, so I'm reasonably certain I am not a robot.

 

[bigalpha]

Why would your spine glow?

 

[kastein]

Not a Battlestar Galactica fan, I guess... :anon:

 

[bigalpha]

Nope, sorry.

You must be disappoint.

 

[ChuckstrPT]

I'm certain you are some type of robot.

yup. If I could figure a way to not NEED sleep, I could resolve quite a few issues....and I'd be real productive! If I go more than 2-3 days w/less than 5 hrs sleep, my body just shuts down as soon as I stop moving....zzzzzz:doh:

 

[kastein]

I hear crystal meth does wonders for not needing to sleep :shiver:
