Raft3r now works 10 hours a day. I also work Saturdays – well, sometimes.
But that is nothing compared to my colleagues.
For instance, a female officemate logs in 12 hours a day plus weekend overtime.
Sunday overtime work has also been approved. But the office is having a hard time looking for supervisors who could pitch in.
Given this scenario, my female colleague will now work 12 hour shifts for 7 straight days. Does that make women more hardworking than men?
Folks from other departments are now envious of how much we earn because of overtime work.
Is money really that important?
Of course, I need money like the rest of the populace. In fact, I need it more than most people do.
But I would rather choose sleep over money any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

i hope it pays off big time
jerick, It always does. Hehe
Sabi nga nila, pera-pera lang yan. If you're well-compensated, go for the gold.
To make money we lose our health, and then to restore our health we lose our money.. We live as if we are never going to die, and we die as if we never lived.
Nabasa ko lang to somewhere... baka makarelate ka lang.. hehe
andy, Nyahaha. Go for the gold ba? Hehe. Bronze na lang siguro. Hehe
gillboard, What happened to Gilbert?
this reminded me of my previous job where our normal working hour is 8hours but we end up working 12hours a day.
hmmmm tikom bibig ko busy rin ako e..
pero masarap talaga ang matulog at kailangan ko din ng pera. hehehe
wawa naman yung officemate mo, sana pag nag-day off siya ay mag-sideline pa siya este mag-Disney o mag-relax talaga. toxic!
the dong, Hehe. Don't you miss office work? =P
hitokirihoshi_kawaii, Grabe yon. May pamilya na kasi, eh. Hehe
haha.. i used to work long hours in my previous job. after almost 5 years there, i resigned.
the pay was good but eventually, your body will get tired. and when that happens, goodluck na lang sa health..
@gillboard, i think that was from george carlin.. :D
RaYe, Hehe. May trivia pa sa bandang dulo! Hehe
If you're happy naman with what you're doing - kahit not miserable lang - okay na rin. And at least you have OT pay.. e pano naman yung mga OTY di ba? who can't just 'pitch in' kasi required. Glad i'm done with those days, but i miss the company where I worked na ganun. as in regular na ang umuwi ng 11pm-12mn. It helps I guess namasaya ka din sa mga kasama mo :D but burn out is really inevitable sa ganyan... so hinay-hinay din lang :D... hmmm, don't know if i made any sense there.. hehehe
when i was single i used to do overtime even on weekends but ngayon that i am married, i hate if i can't go home on time.. lolzzz
mitzi, Hehe. I got your point. Clear nga, eh. Hehe
eden, Bakit nga family life changes one's priorities?
10 hours everyday? Kakapagod yan! And if your job requires you to sit in front of your desk most of the time, nakakataba yan. I should know. Not that I work 10 hours a day. Graduate na 'ko sa ganun. Ang hirap kasi. Pag Sunday, di ako makatayo sa pagod. Tulog lang maghapon. Not a great way to live hehe.
wendy, I want your life. Hehe
Money is very important but it is not everything. :p
i once worked 12 days straight with no days off... i've also worked 2 straight 13-hour days. that was last year and it hasn't happened since... it was worth it for the amount of money i got, as long na hindi all the time.. otherwise, nakakapagod both physically and mentally!
like you, i'd rather sleep in on weekends talaga! im a sloth on my days off...
len, Sleep is more important!
laieesha, Sarap matulog ano?
10 hours a day! Talagang nakakapagod yan, pero di bale well compensated naman pala.
Have a terrific weekend!
liz, Babawi tayo. Until Tuesday wala akong pasok. =)
hmmm, kaya ako lumayas eh. they were giving me assignments that would effectively mean spending 14 hours a a day in the office. which means i have lousy bosses. so i walked away than permanently damage friendships that can still be saved, not now, but in the future.
not taking a break can be deadly. don't do it. stress is real, and it can really mess up your health.
atticus, Don't worry. Di ako pumasok ngayon. Hehe
I supermegaduper agree with you. Sleeping is the best, in fact, I had a 10 hour sleep from last night. hehe
len, Ako din. Hehe. May afternoon nap pa ako kanina-kanina lang. Hehe
yan ang pinaka-ayoko. working on weekdays and holidays. i don't really care about the extra pay. i need my days off too.
the scud, Naku. Tama ka dyan! Masarap matulog. Sobra. Hehe
Sa akin mo ibigay. Ako ang magtratrabaho.
pete, Nyahaha. Pwede!
I believe so too!
For someone like me who's so deprived of sleep because my body clock/system just won't let me sleep for more than 6 hours a day, I believe I'd rather have enough good sleep than more money.
But come to think of it, I think I'd rather be someone who can't sleep because I'm working hard and earning more than be someone who can't sleep because I don't have money in my pocket. :(
Siguro moderation is the key pa din. Enough sleep, enough work, more money! hahaha! mali analogy ko! biased! mukhang pera pa din! :)
Bahala ka na alamin kung anong tutoo diyan sa comment ko :)
beth, Feeling ko kulang ka sa tulog kaya ganyan ang comment mo. Hehe
siguro nga! ksi aga ko gumising kanina, 5 am e wala naman pasok then 12:30 am na gsing pa din ako! Good sleep is really something I want to have!
Will visit you again tomorrow to read your other posts! Good morning! :)
work hard young. you may not die young, but you will grow old painfully LOL
Is money really that important?
YES.
At this point in time ha. Kiber na muna sa prinsipyo.
beth, Good morning. Rest ka muna before reading my posts. =)
random student, Nyahaha. I like that!
judayski, I feel you. Dami kong bayarin ke Lettuce next month. Insurance, registration, maintenance. Patay!
Hindi ako maiinggit sa OT. Kapagod yun. And isa pa, hate ko ang OT. Hahaha! I'd rather go for the graveyard shift than mag OT.
Kaya lang, pag graveyard shift naman, wala akong "social life". So tama tong career ko ngayon. Hahaha! Home econanay. Nyahaha!
bisaja, You live the good life! Hehe
Hayssss OT not applicable hehe.
