I have been working on a project for months now and i go weeks of constant programming, going in early, skipping lunch, maybe a few lunch breaks... I am a dynamo, but then eventually, i just cant even look at the computer anymore....


Today is one of those days (hence why i am here). I didnt eat anything but a cereal bar this morning, and i had a cup of coffee (with skim milk... blech...)


As a result, i havent been writing. Cheeba probably thinks i fell off the earth because i havent touched my cooking site in over a month. Hell, i am so dead these days, i held onto 3 Farscape DVDs from netflix for over 2 weeks because i just didnt have the energy to watch them....

And we have a baby on the way :D


hopefully this project will be done by then, but who knows?

anyone else push themselves too hard?

im about to burn out:(

I'm writing a story for a deadline on June 1st and I'm not halfway through it. If I don't have it in on time I most likely fail the writer's workshop, and if it sucks I won't have a good chance of publishing it...

And I'm spending my time here...

If I were a mod, I'd totally ban you until then. :cool:


I'm a stupid procrasinator aswell. :(

Umm, huh-uh.

Wait...

Nope, nope...I don't.






I am the atypical big dreams, great ideas...no flame under my ass.

I do. I work well under pressure. also, when i start doing shit all of a sudden i wanna do like 50 other things.

is a fun one!

I don't really push myself on any certain projects, but I do only sleep about 3-4 hours most nights and still go to work every single fucking day. I feel worn out all day long, but when it comes "bed time" I just can't do it.....so yeah, I do kinda push myself I guess, and come the weekend I am sooo burned out.

What kind of story and how long does it have to be?


And how much longer do you have?

Pressure fuel creativity a lot of times. My best projects in English Class were written the night before they were due, or that monring.


Not that i am saying you should wait until the last moment.. just dont stress too much.

Yea I did, years ago, worked in a truck repair shop for 16 hours and then took a road service truck home and was on call all night long.

Fell asleep at a stoplite once, in a bad neighborhood, with a service truck full of tools, not too smart.

Plus my lady just had our first, and I didnt get to spend much time with them for the first 6 months after my daughter was born.

Now give me my 40 hours and dont ask for more, if I cant get it done M-F 8-430 tuff shit.

Family is way more important to me.

I work with guys that work 12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week, they would probably work Sun. too if we were open.

Fook that, what are you going to do take the money with you when you croak??

Maybe they should put on their tombstones " I wish I spent more time at work"
