by the by, I've been at work this whole time. My company just announced a huge merger this week, and my division has been up to our eyeballs in coordination work.
"up to our eyes" means that I've had to work past 6 each day, actually had to "work" for the vast majority of it, and one day this week, I had to work until midnight in order to be able to have conference calls with Europe and Asia. Our work is a huge deal and seen as a huge sacrifice that I'm willing to do this.
I mention this because my last job, I worked until 11PM at least 5 times a month, and made 40% less than I make now.
Oh, how I love my new job.
It's got nothing to do with this thread, yes, I realize.
