    Well I have finally decided to give the 28hr day a try… Keep in mind this is XKCD, so there are some non relevant parts to the post

    I will definitely keep you all informed of how it goes. I am committing to 1 month from this date on. However at 2 weeks I may scrap it…. we will see.

    Speaking of XKCD… this one reminds me of a certain CI coder who makes tutorials while intoxicated… not to name names

    Being that I have made this decision based on the fact that I was up all night converting a word document to InDesign… I have been side tracked by XKCD…

    Bah!! Only I would pick the day on which the time change happens to stay up for 24 hrs…


    It was only after I argued with the clock on my mac over what time it is, then driving to A&W;for the Breakfast Classic and finding them closed did I realize the errors of my ways.


    All productivity for Lee has ceased until further notice. Will still attempt 28 hr day switch…

    does that mean that at certain point the “awake” hours will be in the middle of the night? That is then immpossible for some people to follow who go to normal job from 7-15 or 8-16 everyday.

    Exactly… but it will let me get more done in a day and still have 8 hrs of sleep. I make my own hours so its great!

    Man 4 hours sleep is rough, I don’t think I would get any work done. Just sit and watch tv or play video games all day because I was so tired.

    Relaxing is much different than programming 😊

    Thats like actual work. 😛

    I enjoy programming, but it is not what I do to relax.

    I started a firm with a couple friends so we could give the finger to the man and make our own hours… Well basically we make our own hours, they are just worse than what we had before and when it comes to giving the finger to the man… I am my own boss.

    Gunna go work at Tim Hortons….
