Three hours of sleep is more than anybody needs.

And besides, what do you think coffee was invented for?

WTF? Overtime....or they give you a bed for any future shifts like this.  Why should they expect you to be on the road with no sleep???

My job pulls this *expletive deleted*it too. Without overtime...instead we get "comp time" to be used at a latter date...so long as hour workweek hours dont go over 40 they dont pay overtime.

Oh, Im also in the no sleep camp today. Got to go help scrape a nearly dead guy off the pavement last night after he was struck by a car. Got home at 2am fall into the bed, cant sleep for an hour and a half, then finally fall asleep only to have the alarm go off at 5:30 this morn. Yay. I wont see my bed till 10pm tonight since its the first day of classes.

Still haven't been to sleep yet. Waiting on a guy to get here to hook up a patch in our building for a dog/pony show later in the week. Once he's done, i'll get to go home.

I figured with less than 4 hours available, sleeping wasn't an option.

Don't sweat it.  I hear sleep is overrated.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The young-un's now-a-days have it too easy!

Back in the day, I pulled a 40 hour shift, drove 2 1/2 hours home, then went back to work 10 hours later for the next 14 hour shift.  And the real bitch?  Out of the 40 hours they counted 16 hours as regular time!  This was in the middle of 3 months doing 14 hour shifts.

Damn old cast iron valve casing in the bilges of a carrier cracked, and every time they welded a crack a new crack appeared.

Of course the overtime money was gooood!

Yeah, this doesn't even come close to my work weeks while deployed in the army, of course. But I was cranky nonetheless
