I'm such an idiot...

I've been working 11 hour days for quite some time and recently placed an order of 3 Dive Rite Boat Clips and 3 DR Snap Bolts amongst other things.

As I went to clip the snap bolt onto a D ring, I realized I need split rings. D'oh . I'm diving on Sunday so I'll have to take a few from spare key chains.

11 hour work days dont seem so bad at first, but after a few back to back to back, they get to you.
You'll be ok after some fun in the water. Hang in there.

11 work days suck, and do make you susceptible to making those types of mistakes, so don't fret it too much. As black-gorilla stated you are going to be just fine once you hit the water. And Christmas is right around the corner, BONUS DAY OFF!!!

My evil employer DEMANDS a MINIMUM of 11 hour days, not including breaks.

My job resembles a scene from a Dickens novel more and more each day.

No offense, but 11 hour days would be fine!! I am getting tired of the 16 hour ones.

I got stuck at work yesterday for 12 hours. Boo hoo, by the time I got out, all the stores were closed, so I missed the obligatory last minute run for stocking stuffers, made enough in overtime to help offset the cost of Christmas significantly (combined with the three days of last week's overtime, I came out ahead), and missed out of the homestead frenzy of getting ready... Really the Christmas trifecta if you ask me!

I do two 12 hour shifts and three 4 hour shifts a week. The 4 hour shifts really fly by, but some days those 12 hour shifts turn into 16 .
