Working a salaried position sometimes has some drawbacks. For the past few weeks, I have been working late and on the weekends. I hope that this is the last week I will have to work more than 60 hours. One of my colleagues has been working at least 70 hours a week for 7 weeks in a row.
I typically do not get too upset when I have to work extra hard. I figure it balances for the occasional long lunch or the few days when I checked out at 4:30 instead of 5:00. So I will not be asking for comp time. However, if I were the poor chap that has worked 7 weeks with out a day off, it would probably be a different story.

Several years ago, I swore I would never do a salaried position again, unless the salary was far and away above anything I could earn with an hourly rate + overtime. Salary is and always has been just a way of ensuring that you can work someone half to death when you need to, without having to pay for it. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
I'm surprised and impressed that you have had time to keep up your blog ...Now about the back yard LOL
