did it for a while

I worked two full time trans jobs for 18 months.  I worked one split shift, early morning, then left for the other job which I worked 8 hours at, then went back to the other job till around 11:00 at night.  Had about 4-5 hours of sleep a night.  Its amazing how you can get used to it and really wired up..It allowed me to catch up on bills and save quite a bit but then I got burned out and wanted to have a life once again.  So now I work at home around 55 hours a week.
