Yeah but money is good. I'd work 13hrs every shift if it was physically possible!

I worked 16hrs on Friday and 10hrs yesterday and well mods are on the way soon

As long as I have a day off I'm good. The way I figure it is that I could have the day off doing nothing or earn some money for my car or other misc expenses What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Smokes and energy drinks are your friend :

Most places pay the difference on the clock. Meaning you only gain if you enter daylight savings. Doing 13 hours means payed for 12 at change back. But doing 11 and payed for 12 at the start of ESDT.
