It's great when you love your work!

This is a bit OT, but during my Fed career, I once worked for a super gung ho political appointee. He was brilliant, but a lousy manager. That aside, he routinely worked an 18-19 hour day, and had two shifts of secretaries -- 8 to 4:30, and 4:30 to midnight. He also worked holidays, and one Thanksgiving, called me at home twice with questions during Thanksgiving dinner!

We senior career types finally worked a deal with him that we would work only 50 hours a week (with no extra pay, of course). He stuck to it with only a few "emergency" exceptions.

Darnitol. hope I haven't given Eric J. any ideas.....
