lostxpinoy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Have any of you ever worked throughout the night? What's the story behind it? Just went through my first overnight of many this week. It's crunch time for me, I got about a week left to finish uploading product and stress-testing the site. Goodness..that soft, comfortable bed looks really nice right about now... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I go in to the office about 3 in the afternoon and work all night every day. Less people to bug the crap out of me while I am trying to work.

lostxpinoy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I feel the same way too. During the day I keep getting bothered. At night, I can just play some music and work at my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdi-buy.com Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I work from home so I just get up when I feel like it, fill orders when I fill like it (in a timely manner of course) and go to sleep when I feel like it. One time I had to run to Wal Mart at 3 AM for an emergency ink cartridge to print a shipping label. That sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schneckster Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 In a previous job, I did 2 weeks where I left for work at 1 am to try and get stuff done before everyone else got in... then left for home about 8pm only to repeat it the next day. This was in the middle of a 3 month period where the odd 36 hour working day was at least a once a week occurence and a 14 hour day was standard, all to try and dig the company out of the proverbial. It hacked off my girlfriend big style!! I got made redundant a few months later when I pulled the boss up on an involuntary pay cut!!! Gratitude, eh? Never again... except on my OWN company!!! ;) Schneckster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdi-buy.com Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I refuse to work for anyone else again unless it's just a couple hrs a week to make a few dollars for my businesses to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
