Working Hours
written by Drew | 2010.76 Thu 18 Mar
Before I begin today’s post, I’m pleased to announce that the situation with AMI (Advanced Medical Institute) seems to have been resolved in my favour. It certainly wasn’t easy, and there’s a couple of precautions still to be taken, but it’s thankfully over. If you’d like to know more, email me directly.
I got to thinking, yet again, about the number of hours I work in a day. This month, solely because of dodgy contractual agreements, I’ve been working 14 hours a day on average. This has left me with next to no free time whatsoever – even during weekends, when I don’t work – and on average four hours of sleep every night. It’s near the end of the third week, and on two occasions I got just over an hour’s sleep. It’s been very tough.
So in total I’ve been tied to some kind of desk for about 60-70 hours a week. Thinking back to a manager in one of my first agency jobs, who “bragged” about putting in an 80-hour work week, he was a f*cking moron.
