I think I'm reaching that limit, whatever it is.

God, I hate the winter busy season.

3. I'm sorry to hear. If you are working 55 to 65 hours for multiple weeks...
It takes its toll.

Be careful out there.

6. Have you come to the point when, for the same money, you'd rather stand in a barrel of shit all day?

If so, then it's stopped being a job.

If not, then you probably have another week or so...

7. Not quite there yet.
No.

Is standing in a barrel of shit an available career for me, should I decide to make a change?

9. It's available, but the benefits package is a joke
No dental and only two sick days per year.

Still, I'd have taken it over my last job...



I hope things get better for you!

8. I'm there as well. Completely overloaded, exhausted from not sleeping
and spending way too much time wasting time because I'm not sure where to start.

Things will get better; I love what I do, but right now, Ugh.
