Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule?
tnok85 writes "I started a new job ~7 months ago at a very large company working a 12-hour night shift (7PM-7AM) in a fairly high volume NOC. Our responsibilities extend during the night to basically cover everything but the most complex situations regarding UNIX/Windows/Linux/App administration, at which point we'll reach out to the on-calls. I live 1.5 hours away as well, so it turns into 4-5 15 hour days a week of sitting still — throw in almost an hour to get ready to leave, and a bit of time after I get home to unwind and I'm out of time to work out. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I have a very slow metabolism, ever since I was a pre-teen I would gain weight fairly quickly if I didn't actively work out, regardless of how much or what I eat. (Barring starving myself, I suppose...) So, how does somebody who works a minimum of 60 hours over 4 days, often adding another 12 another day, and sometimes working 7-10 days straight like this, stay in shape? I can't hold a workout schedule, (which every person I've talked to in my history says is necessary to stay in shape) and I can't 'wake up early' or 'work out before bed' because I need sleep. Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions?"
Meth. I have yet to run into a fat meth-head.
TAPEWORM...These little suckers will keep those pesky pounds off with minimal effort.
From what I hear, you can do kegel exercises nearly anywhere at any time.
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
try swallowing the crap you get from ex-wives-to-be and you'll understand how that becomes a necessity.
You can get rich if you own a politician, but you have to be rich to buy one in the first place.
In most IT shops these are call 'shackles' and are provided by your boss.
You will feel better...
... until the moment of your death when you will be thinking, "I could have eaten that Twinkie."
That is all.
With his kind of life, cutting years off his life is an advantage!!!
