I worked more overtime than regular time in a pay cycle...

I just spent 15 days working 12+ hours/day trying to get a film to it's crazy deadline.  The film will be out in November and earn me some serious geek cred.

So yeah, crazy deadline means crazy hours, for the first time in my life, in a 14 day pay cycle, I clocked 88.14 OT hours and 88 Reg hours.  That's an accomplishment right?  Or is it insane?  Then on the 15th day, yesterday, a statutory holiday, I worked 14 more hours.  But it's cool because they catered us a turkey dinner for lunch?

I'm tired you guys, I'm tired!

Good work, you deserve a rest.  Can you give us any clues which film?

In this case no, it's pretty big and we're more hush on it than some other projects.  Not till late Nov can I say so to be safe, especially not on a platform where my words might be googled.

You're such a martyr!

I bleed so that you can pay $4 bucks more to see the movie in 3D!  Pray for me!

Fair enough.  I'll be anxiously awaiting the release to find out.  It better be a good movie though, otherwise I'll be looking to you for a refund *kidding*

Okay, let me make something clear: Working extra labor for your employer without payment for that is wage theft.   I may have worked a tremendous amount of hours but I got paid for every single one of them and I would raise hell if I wasn't.  So yes, you absolutely should complain.  You should no more work without pay than you should be able to order food with extra fries and say 'But I don't want to pay you for the extra fries.  Just give them to me for free anyway'.
