We got wonderful news at work today - our overtime this Saturday is cancelled! Only fifty hours this week instead of sixty. Thank all the gods that may be listening. My shoulder's killing me already (convinced I have tendonitis in it) and I didn't know how I'd make it to Saturday alive.
Looking forward to the end of this madness, since I've promised myself a...

I'm not dead...yet.
One more day left of this work week, and then a single day off. Then I'm in for another 60 hour week. But hey, I get five days of freedom starting on the 23rd. Hooray for Thanksgiving! Thinking I might take over the turkey this year. Cooking always cheers me up, and I bet my mother would like one less worry. If...

Hope you are enjoying you day off! 
Cross your fingers I make it out alive. Working a grueling 60 hour week and day two already leaves me exhausted. Special bonus? We could be in for 2-4 weeks of this madness.
I'm so damned tired all the time these days. We've been on 50 hour weeks for around a month now, because production is way, way behind and holiday demand is ramping up....

Thank you! Honestly, your comment helps keep me going. Any kind of reinforcement I can get helps.
carouser:
I think your luck rubbed off on me, they put us on overtime this week plus now we have to work Saturday as well. Crappity crap!
Oh snap, I'm a Hopeful. Who has fucked up submitting the set twice now. Third time's the charm?
Lordy lordy, what a weekend.
Missed out on all the Halloween debauchery thanks to a bout of allergies turned nasty. When you've got a throbbing sinus headache and no voice, parties lose their appeal. I was so sad last night, having spent over a month putting together a Tank Girl costume. Guess I'll have to shelve it (maybe for a future photoset?)

I've lost my voice.
Not in a metaphor kind of way, I actually cannot speak. My allergies have gotten so bad they've caused laryngitis. My throat doesn't even hurt (much,) I just can't talk above a whisper.
Miserable stuff. You end up feeling so powerless when you can't say what you want. I'm already hating the mime, the whispers, the sending a text to a...

Not enough hours in the day. At least, not enough free hours. Work's trying to kill me, as always. Mandatory overtime is torturous, but it's better than laying off all the temps (of which I am one) like they did last February. Must produce the stock for the holidays, plus make up for the abysmal production our night shift manages. It's exhausting, but at least...

I feel you. We were turning out tons of tractors 2 months ago and the overtime was killing me, now we cant even get 40 hours a week in. Not gonna be a good Christmas at the Carouser household...ugh. Factory work kinda blows.

I work for a bread roll factory, so people are always eating it (ding dong, Atkin's diet is dead) but the holiday demand is crazy. Fifty hour weeks, which is great financially, but so, so tiring. Fingers crossed I get my full time hiring after the beginning of the year. It'll take ninety days my ass...been temping five months now.
Aching with hellish allergies and the aftermath of a day running, jumping, climbing. There's a sweet kitty cuddled up next to me just about begging for attention. Another weekend come and gone, and a fifty hour work week ahead.
And I'm on edge.
Sent in my SG application this evening, and I'll be neurotically over-thinking the photos until I hear back. I know this is...

Good luck!
I'm really trying too hard here.
Been torturing myself for days, trying to figure out the ideal inaugural entry. We learn early and often that first impressions are key, and I'm an admitted perfectionist. Combine that with a show-off streak a mile wide...
It's all bullshit, I suppose. The chances of anyone but me reading this are miniscule and really, this site isn't about writing...
