Been pulling 12s for longer than most of you have been alive. 8s are for desk jockeys and keyboard warriors.
You take pride in this?
Yep. Have worked for my toys since i was 17 and wont ever feel bad about it
Man they got you good
12 hours work + 8 hrs sleep = 20 + 4 hours. 1 hour for hygeine/shower/bathroom usage + 1 hour for eating needs = 22 hours. 1 hour for bills/emails/texts = 23 hours. 1 hour for errends/misc. 2 days off. Day 1 = exhausted, catching up on things. Day 2 = fun.
Is this sort of close?
This sounds like slavery but with a free bonus non-slave day each week. I feel like "worked for my toys" is just a way to justify embracing defacto-slave culture. Your efforts are making someone very rich, and if it's you then you must love work or money to spend such little time with frienda or family.
People like you normalize defacto-slave culture.
Been there. Worked more than my share of 300 hour months. I got a better gig now, though. Better for my kids.
