Shit like this is why we no longer have Twinkies.

Normal days: 8-9 hours a day.
The month before an election: 10 hours a day.
Election day: Normally a 20-22 hour day.

Do spank breaks count against the total?

It varies so much it's hard to answer. Some days 2-3hrs. Some days 12hrs.

I work at an auto shop. It's come to the point now that the shop will ride or die with ME. So i have to do whatever it takes to bring in more money. The more money that i can bring in, the more i can take home.

I'm transitioning from your basic clock in/out to a small business owner. Im going to get my license next week. Basically, im becoming the owner of the business that use to pay me my paychecks.

But when you were trying to buy your house, trying to get the point that you are at now, how much time did you put in?

Too many to count.

As a business owner I will tell you this,just because you close the doors and go wherever for the evening you're never off work.You want to build your business you take every opportunity you can to pass out business cards,meet potential customers,hell sit around the bar(if you do that) and talk to strangers about it.

Clocking in/out everyday depending on some one else to pay me.....that's not going to cut it. My wife lost her job a month ago for cost saving reasons, and i need to make some damn money. Just getting by doesn't cut it anymore. I have to grow the **** up and create some opportunities for myself or risk being 50 years old, renting out of an apartment and living off of Social Security.....and struggling paycheck to paycheck from now until then.

**** that.

I just had a real emotional realization that....this just isn't good enough and nothing is going to change unless i step it up and change it. I need to put in more work. For myself.

So how much time do you put in in a days worth of work?

At 27 I had already traveled all over the world. And was working as writer and editor of a local magazine.

Needed a more stable income and went back to school to be a Respiratory Therapist. Moved the family to KC to get into residency without waiting a year. Spent two years in school and working for free.

After 9 years I got tired of people dying on me daily and changed careers. Went to work 10-12 hours. Took I.T. courses at night. Studied 2-4 hours after class. Went to bed at 2:00am. got up at 6:00am. Did that for two ****ing years.

Moral of the story is you only live once in life. The worst thing that you will have to live with in life is regret. There ain't no do-overs.

I don't mean to be Mr. Grammar Nazi here, but you put a whole bunch of incomplete sentences in that response. I don't know if I'd want you as a writer and editor.
