I need to get into work at 6am and don't get off until 4pm. Then I have another job from 6pm to 12am. I'm on call after midnight until 4am when the morning guys come in. I do this everyday except Sunday and half day on Saturdays.
I had to work my first job from 6am-4pm on Christmas.
I don't get a New Year's Eve or Day off. But I don't make posts about getting up or not getting enough sleep.
When I go on vacation, I'm always on call and need to be local. The last time I ever went out of town was when I was going to college which was 2 years ago.
You do know that some people can't function on what you do, right? We're not all the same.
For instance, I like having 9 hours of sleep. Anything less and I am pretty groggy all day. :\ I've tried 4 hours(I'll fall asleep in class), 5 hours(ditto), 6 hours(sometimes fall asleep, will fall asleep later that day), 7 hours(will be groggy, sometimes fall asleep later that day), 8 hours(just groggy). It's all pretty shitty until I hit at least 9.
That's slavery.
Seriously, you better own that business if you have to be on-call on your vacation or being paid in the high six figures+.
This. Short of being paid godly amounts of money there is no way I'd do that shit.
