    Its not a uniquely “me” problem, I’ve talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I’m not talking about putting in extra time when I’m not supposed to be at work. I’m just talking about how it “feels” to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I’m sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don’t really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.

    Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.
