When I take time out of my crazy schedule to do someone a favor and they don't even say thanks. o_O

Suites, I have been working 8, 10, 12+ hours every day, including weekends, for over a month now. I am BURNT OUT.
I cannot wait for this horrible summer to end.

I mean, it's my fault. I agreed to the extra work since things were slow at the beginning of the year. But I guess I didn't realize how big the project was that I agreed to.

KILL ME NOW.

Is there no way you can speak to whoever gave you the work to explain you need further help. Or is it only a select few working on it?

BUT IF I KILL YOU, I WON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO ALMOST EVERYDAY. WHERE WOULD I BE THEN? SAD. SAD AND LONELY WITHOUT A FRIEND.

But how far away are you from being finished? x.x

I hope you're being paid overtime!

Actually, it's going through an internal review as I type this, and then assuming all is well, I can relax tonight for once. XD And hopefully the client won't send back 8 billion changes that they want done the next day.
The sad part is that I actually really enjoy the project. It's for a university. It was just the deadlines that sucked, and the fact that it had a new person as project manager while a bunch of other people were on vacation, causing some serious communication issues.

Unfortunately, I have a flat hourly rate. However, that's more than their employees have, since they aren't paid hourly but still have to get the work done. o_o

My head hurts.

I'm sure if any of us kidnapped Szen he'd be even more tired.

Well since I complained to them, they started telling me how much they love me and have pictures of me plastered on their bedroom walls and want to name their kids after me if, in fact, they can't have mine.
They also gave me a break... to work on something else urgent. XDD

WHY WOULD I BE MORE TIRED? WOULD YOU MAKE ME RUN AROUND THE BLOCK WITH SACKS OF POTATOES TIED TO MY BACK?

You might be amazed how revitalizing a little tension relief is. XD

Uh, Szen.

I have a Cloning Machine.
I can clone you perfectly.
And have the Clone work for you.

Ugh, that sucks. I've been tired at work lately because although I am just "required" to work 7.5 hour days, I just get a flat rate (poverty level) for however much I work, and it's really hard for me to get motivated. Which in turn makes me feel guilty. I'm very lucky I don't have to work as much as you do!
