PhD ≈ a-OK

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Today’s been two days in one.

It’s not that I’m particularly busy, since I couldn’t honestly claim that this is the case. It’s just that my day in the office started at 06:30 and is scheduled to finish at 22:15.

This was totally the norm three years ago, when I was covering three positions. My timesheet once showed 92.25 hours once.

Somebody once asked me how it’s possible to work 92.25 hours in a single week, so here’s a quick explanation:

  • Saturday, Sunday, Monday = 15 hours
  • Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday = 13 hours
  • Friday = 8.25 hours

I’m not slipping into bad habits though: I’ve had a few hours off around lunchtime.

So how does this pertain to now?
