Full Time Job

This is first time I am working full time (40+ Hours a week), on top of that, I am taking a summer class. But dam, I never expect shits can be this hard. It has only been two weeks, and I am breaking down already. Whoever says office works is easier than manual labors lies, instead of your body getting tire, my eyes right now is blind, and my brain is fried. I give my absolute respects for any adults that are working full time.

Welcome to the real world. Don't be in a rush to get here. I've been working 60+ hours a week for about a year now. You get used to it, but in the beginning it really sucks. The money is damn good though!

Err.. manual labor is definitely harder than office work. Think about it... 40+ hours in a factory where you are constantly lifting things, walking around, using your hands/body whenever needed.

OR

40+ hours in a office where you sit at a desk and type, fill out reports, etc.

I've yet to experience the office work, but I've been working in various factories for a while now and it takes a toll on your body. I'm constantly sore.

40+ hours in a office where you sit at a desk and type, fill out reports, etc.

If only it sounds that easy. Usually you get a project where you sit your ass on the desk stare at the monitor for 8 hours straight for few days. Titu is dead on the money, don't try to rush or anything. What I did was I try to be like superman, since I just begin to work. I barely took any breaks and just typing and working like crazy, that shit burn you out like hell. Don't try shits like that.

And yea, the money is just too dam good.

40 hours a week isn't that bad. I work 30+ over a 3 day period sometimes, lol.

If you want to compare working hours, don't come knocking over here. A normal work day for me is 12 hours. During hurricaine season, when a storm makes landfall and causes a lot of power outages and structural damage, I'll be working 16 hour days, 7 days a week until everything is fixed. Last year, I had almost 4 months straight like that. The pay is RIDICULOUS during that time, which is the only motivation to keep going.

That shit will age you fast.

Damn. Most I ever worked was 55 hrs during the back to school season at OfficeMax. I'm part time though.

Isn't anything more then 40 hrs overtime? In Illinois it is.

I used to work a job with 12hr shifts 3-4 days a week. Thing was we got unlimited over time pretty much. So I would work like 60hrs a week. Omg 40 regular hours. 8 time and a half hours. and 12 double time hours! I was making bank. I miss that job. Plus it was easy.

After I graduated high school I started working 96 hours a week, manual labor.

holy crap how can you work so much......

holy crap how can you work so much......

Have a kid WAY to early and you'll start piling up bills...It only hurts for the first week... then its a cake.

at my job during season i was working an easy 65+ hours a week doing hard ass labor... i dont care what you say, that shit is the worst. all my free time was sleep because i was so worn out
