all I can say is...HOLY [censored]!!! - I nearly died the first day..

drank some Jack Daniels to calm my nerves and sleep...well, it turns out I wake up at 2:30 and can't go back to sleep. Get dressed at 5:30 and get downtown for a 12 hour shift...(3 days a week) -

my chest was pounding the first few hours....stress, exhuastion, and leftover alcohol had my chest hurting for a while...(but I read where heart attacks don't feel like that, so I didn't panic) - but I did not think I was gonna make it the full 12...(even just sitting around trying to figure out how to do my job...) - but I made it...

now I can sleep peacefully tonight...go in Fri. and Sat. and get this baby done for the week.

I hate 12 hours days, but I will like a 3 day work week.

Congrats on the new job, I know it's a tough IT market right now. If you don't mind, which company is it? I work for US Bancorp Piper Jaffray, doing support on our Trading floor, so I know exactly what you're talking about (it's amazing how "important" every little thing is to every user)
