I've been working like crazy lately - at least by my definition. In advertising, it's not uncommon to work 50-60 hour weeks, but so far my experience has been a lot more relaxed (a normal 40 hour week seems to be just fine).
But the last few months, I've had some crazy hours. Part of me feels like I'm finally paying my dues - and that part of me is proud to know that when it's necessary, I can really focus and get the hard work done.
But the other part of me is struggling to deal with the stress - which is causing a lot of collateral damage. I've been having trouble sleeping (regularly waking up at 3am freaked out about something) and I don't have much energy to do anything else when I come home from work.
And the funny thing is, I have little right to complain. Plenty of people at my job work a lot harder than that - and have done so for a long time. And I'm sure work schedules are very different where you live. How much time do you devote to your job?
