honest:
I mean can it be like that? The perspective to be burned out (if lucky) at 40?

Put it this way I've just opened the document I was working on yesterday and the saved date is...
Today, 01:04
So in answer to your question too long, and for what?
I'm planning a total burn out before I hit 30

How long till that _helv?
Nah Kelpie, I gave up on that menu thing, Grafholic did send a useful link through though. It's only a mock up to for the client to see a working version, it would'vce just saved me time, and I would've gained a little knowledge from it.
Burn out in 4 days, and I'm going to Fabric within that time as well :/

It's true, my wife tells me UK working hours are piss easy. The 30-40yr-old designers are exhausted from the all night working weeks and very little holiday. They can't physically keep up with the fast turnaround times the more younger and energetic designers can work to.

Another 2 years til I hit thirty Dancer, if that's what you meant?
But what I don't understand and I'm sure this is true of other studios, is that of every employee of our company (About 80 people) it only seems to be the creative who are expected to work late/weekends. jizz mopping, infact that's what I should get pu on my business card: Jizz Mopper.

yeah right, I hate it when managers leave at half five on the dot and say to you on their way out:
"TRY NOT TO WORK TOO HARD!"

(Nov 9 05, 03:44)Or the classic call me if you have any problems! I'd like to hold them to that, when it reaches midnight and you still have only on page 21 of a 40 page brochure, that's got go to client for copy approval at 'no later than 10am' !!

Thing is is that it comes with the industry now, if your a designer your frowned at for going home on time.
My last job we had to check and tell the principal director we were off. It didn't make much difference though as he always left at 1730 on th nail
BANG!

say it quite often, haha....normally preceded with a 'any body coming down to the pub or back to mine for a party?- ace! i'm quite good at delegating tasks on thursday/friday nights, normally give some of the guys impossible tasks, you know, say that its gotta be done by close of play, when in fact it's needed for next week! by doing this i get to go down the pub with the girls and get them warmed up to my way of thinking before i call back into the office at say "JUST JOKING ABOUT YOUR DEADLINES GAY BOYS!!" the girls love it, and i t's usually me that ends up scoring and not some of the younger guys!

The bit I hate the most is when you've worked all night and your colleagues come in all bright eyed and bushy tailed, rested, showered and dressed in their fresh clothes going "Mooooooorning... oh, have you been here long". Bah.

9.30 (that's 10.00 to me) - 6.00 (that's 7.00 - 7.30 to my boss).
- StratusGD0
8am - 8pm.
Most of the other guys i work with do 10am-10pm, plus occasional weekends. Small agency, trying to make it, yadda yadda. On the upside, even our account guy stays late most nights.

8 am to 5 pm - 5 days a week, 1 hour lunch. Kind of over it - was spoilt with freelance for 2 years. But will stay for another year. Am saving to go overseas.

booyakashaaaaa

I work a pretty standard
9 - 17.30 which I'm thankful for. I've worked on my own Self Employed and ended up working 8.00 -21.00 most days. but you always end up putting in more work when it's your own business, especially when you work from home.saying that I'm on the trains And Grim reality of the Tube network for 3-4 hours a day which is starting to piss me off.
