...well that sucks.
...well that sucks.
I don't mind deadlines. I mind unrealistic ones. So many clients are clueless.Probably 75-80 for three consecutive months. Deadlines are not fun.
Well unfortunately, if it didn't get done, at that time a military contractor was booked out for 6 months afterwards and some dickhead made promises to the head of Defence who would be showing up to the demo... It really was a giant clusterfuck, NOT of my making.I don't mind deadlines. I mind unrealistic ones. So many clients are clueless.
Glad you got a decent payoff from it. Sounds like a recipe for burnout.Well unfortunately, if it didn't get done, at that time a military contractor was booked out for 6 months afterwards and some dickhead made promises to the head of Defence who would be showing up to the demo...

On the upside, all those extra hours paid for my six week trip around Europe afterwards... and then some. /shrugs
Once we start filming a new season of the show I work on it's between 100-120 hours a week for like a month and half.
Is this harvest time on a farmBetween 90-100 hours a week for 6 weeks of the year every year, just get my head down and grind. You have no time for anything, no mowing the lawn or cleaning, wake up, get food and go. Just keep going and think of the money
It’s funny when people moan about been tired because they work 35 hours a week, don’t that shit by Wednesday morning
20 hours a day for 7 days?140 hours once... and never again
was organising a music event, in the last week the venue I was planning to used got barred, so I had to get another venue, and on top of that we just had some terror attacks + ISIS claiming they were going to do something during newyear, so I had to convince all the management and the artists to show up, venue needed new flyers, new posters, new social media, new sound installation, more security...
the last day I started hallucinating because of the lack of sleep, one of my friends forced me to sleep on a couch, I probably went 2 or 3 days with maybe 1 or 2 hours of sleep...
In my experience 100 hour weeks are possible but not consecutively. The older I get the less I care and do less. When I was younger and needed the money and had the energy it was still hard but more possible80-88. How the fuck are you guys pulling 100 hour weeks?
