It was a long weekend.... Think of the overtime MichaelM must be racking up!! [:D]

I hope he sees his family occasionally. [:(]

I wish I was racking it in. Spending sooo much time on my real job (week consists of 3 days working 5pm to 2am (sometimes 8am), 2 days normal 8am to 7pm, and on call over the weekend). This has been happening for last 2.5 months, and for another month and a bit.
Barely have time to myself.

That is an incredibly bad work schedule. It does not allow the body any chance to adapt to different sleep patterns. Not to mention the complete disruption to your non-work activities.

People should bear this work schedule very much in mind when they next "propose" some work be done on AE code. Unfortunately I don't think they will.

Try driving a truck for a living.They expect you to work at any time even during your 10 hr.break.
2 hrs of gaming then 8 hrs of sleep then 14 on duty.I know I'm sitting on my butt all day
but try dealing with all the poor drivers out there 4 wheel and 18 wheel.

Been there, done that, got the million mile patch to show for it. I gave it up & started driving computers. At least when I hit them, I can fix it instead of killing someone [;)] Still, Michaels hours sucketh...hugely

There is a patch for driving a truck? No one told me that when I was young [X(]. Damn another milestone missed in my life [:D]

The Human body can adapt, I spent 2 years working 6am-2pm for two days, then 2pm to 10pm the next two days, then two days working 10pm-6am. Repeat ad infinatum. Being single helps a lot...[:)]

Boy you worked what in the AF we called the psycho shift - you have my condolences and appreciation, I never would have been able... Nowadays however I to old and crippled to work odd shifts. I only work 20-25 hrs a week in the morning. I wouldn't mind more hours but I wouldn't be able to stand 40 hrs a week anymore nor can I lift any great amounts, sucks getting older.

No it doesn't. Getting younger would be great!

Staying the same age would not be too bad either [:D]

Thanks I thought the beta patch was in Tech Support where Members only are allowed and couldn't find it there.

Which caused some confusion until I saw the Tech support section here [:D]


Thanks will play the beta patch then.

I'll have to restart my game I guess.

The Beta's only change the EXE so no data files have been touched (the only reason you need to restart). So you can keep playing and still get all the new stuff with no problem. I have done that quite a bit so can attest that a restart is not needed. Now if you want an excuse to restart anyway .... [:)]
