Breaking a record!

Yes, finally and after trying for more than a month now (since these days in Cupertino) I managed to break my working hours personal record yesterday or actually early this morning! Many times since January I’ve been so close to that but never succeeded in doing so (lol). Good preparation, strong willingness and a satisfactory physical state (it was only Monday) were catalytic in that. Yeaaahhhhh

Records are to be broken and yesterday I broke another one; the VPN time connection status shows clearly 17:09:19 hours connected, just before I pack my equipment and leave office at 02:43 in the morning.

Let’s just hope that everything will be ok after this launch. Many people have worked long long hours the past days.

P.S. i don’t know why I wrote that (kind-of-)post. Probably because it can make me realise more objectively that the hours I have been working since I got this job are ridiculous! Or not? And my question is: how many hours do you usually work per day dear reader? Let the competition begin :-)

    Well, in this dick-size type of war size DOES matter indeed, but unfortunatelly my friend, in this one, the smaller the better :-P

    So, actually, you are far far away from even being able to be proud of something :) Soooooorry! …..

    Wikipedia seems to have some interesting statistics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_time
    The fact that Greece is sixth, just after Japan is an insight that they are completely inaccurate (or the public sector is excluded) :-)

    Did I tell you? I am moving to Amsterdam :-P

    Anyway, the truth is that IT/Software industry is very competitive, so 50h/week is the bare minimum. Talking about peaks, we ‘ll have this conversation again when you count days of work, not hours. ;-)
