Its pretty swanky, they have a gymnasium, barbers, swimming pool, all sorts of stuff so I gather.

Not as good as an office at home though :mrgreen:

Wish my company had some sort of work life balance!

I did 55 hours overtime last month, and we are currently undergoing major expansion, and Im not getting any more staff !!

55 hours of OT in a working week? 11hrs a day? + 8hrs = 19hrs a day?

I did 94 hours overtime last month.  And its Payday on Friday \o/

In November, there will only be 2 days of the month that I wont get paid for :)  That means a bumper December pay packet :D
