In Bangkok now at the Emporium killing time for an hour or so. DJ Pat, I'm wearing my fancy shoes today, try to cut me a little slack, eh?

In Penang at the moment. Will be back in BKK tonight.

[Flummoxed]

Still in Essex , still slaving to finance the move abroad , but AM slowly getting there . Wonder if I'll still look this good when I finally do it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Funny you should say that. I've been doing the thick end of 100 hours a week recently and it's starting to show in my face and overall sense of well being. I feel like sh1t.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, watch those 100-hour weeks, Flummoxed; probably earning decent money but it definitely takes its toll, especially if you're under any stress in your job. I did 100-hour weeks for about 2 months a while back and it took me months and months to get over it...zombie-like. If and when the body becomes fatigued it can take years to overcome.

Perhaps I should post in the health section. Indeed, I've gone downhill badly since starting this thread. Getting ulcers along my gums, only managing to sleep 3 hours a day even though I'm really tired, dizzy and weak..... trouble is, if I have any time off, I'll lose the contract I've got. Stuck between a rock and a hard place I guess.

[Jockstar]

hey flummoxed. i was doing the same as you last year. I went back for 6 months and worked 6 or 7 days a week. Mostly 7 for the last 3 months. But you gotta take at least a day off now and again. Just to give the body a rest. If you dont you're gonna make yourself sick. You wont lose the contract if you just take a day. What kind of work do you do?

Lovely Jubbly!

Drink loads of water all the time when working long hours (especially in and air-con or refrigerated environment) even if you don't feel like it

Hey Flummoxed:

I'm sorry to be brutally direct, but if you drop dead you are going to lose your contract.

I don't know you, but I feel compelled to tell you to that you can have a heart attack from prolonged sleep deprivation. A couple of years ago I was on a schedule similiar to yours, and one thing I'm certain of is that you turn into a vapor after about 3 days without any sleep. When you prolong this for about a month or more with 3 hours a night, you are setting yourself up for serious illness, most probably sooner than later.

The ulcers on your gums sound bad. Health experts have already found a link between the health of your gums and your heart. Dude, get some sleep.

I work in IT and do 8 or 9 12 hours shifts in a row , days/nights but have the benefit of a week off in between , occassionally I have worked 6 weeks of 12 hour nights and ended up with similar ailments ( ulcers etc) .

The Money is pretty good , but if you're dead you can't spend it mate.

Edited because it looked a bit like I was showing off , I spend it quicker than I earn it...
