Loooooooooong work hours...

[Alondro]

Ok, here I am in the lab as usual, having pulled yet another all-nighter of PCRs, paraffin sectioning, and dissection.  When I finally get to leave today, I'll have put in 25 hours non-stop (save for short meal breaks).

I'm amazed that after doing this for so long, I can still manage cohesive sentences and thought patterns.

But I suppose with my superior intellect and will, I can manage to overcome the unrelenting fatigue and continue without a trace of psychosi... OOOOOOOOOOOOOh lookit teh pretty room goes swirly!  Tee-hee!  I pokeyed meself with a needle!  It R ouchie.  I like it when the red water comes out...  *conks*   

*Anyone else work insane hours regularly?*

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

No. But I do stay awake all night reading books on a surprisingly frequent basis.

I recently pulled a 50-hour programming marathon.  Had to take a 24 hour break afterwards or risk burning out right before finals.

ive had 12 hour shifts with no breaks operating lasers, and more recently ive had to work an 8 hour shift followed immediately by a 6 hour shift at a different place with less then an hour in between

always not fun, especially when you come home to four hours of sleep on the floor

Actually, I stole his keyboard. I needed another one for my hoard and just stole his, since it was just sitting around on a computer desk. I don't think he's noticed yet. Hope you don't mind, Bill!

... if he does, how is he going to type a message telling you so?

... if he does, how is he going to type a message telling you so?

(1) Steal someone else's keyboard.
(2) Steal his keyboard back.
(3) Buy a new keyboard.
(4) Telepathy. (Some of my friends tell me they use that when their internet's "down" all the time!)
(5) Magic.
(6) He can't!
