The Project Grind grinds on and on and ..... on

well ..... for those who have experience as an Engineer enmeshed in a large project you can appreciate better the 60+ hour work weeks - week after week - month after month - and the mundane life you tend to come to lead - work-eat-sleep ad nauseum - it leaves little energy and time for much else - and that is just how it is - no complaints - why complain? - if you can imagine coming home at 7:30-8:00 PM at night after working 11-12+ hours - having a small snack of banana and jogurt perhaps - studying your mathematics for a mere 15-30 minutes before going to bed to awaken at 5:00 AM as your daily routine - then you sort of get it - that has pretty much been the case for me since November 2016 - 6 days a week - on the 7th day I get to do a bit more research work on Saturday based on the past week's contemplation ... I am firm believer in the unconscious mind at work so some slow progress is being made - but not nearly what could be done without being under this level of workload - I have done worse - I vividly recall one project where standard work weeks extended up into the 70+ hour range - one peak week of 92 hours near completion I arrived home just after 1:00 AM - filled the bath full with nice hot foamy bubbling water - proceeded to fall asleep - in the tub - and then was shocked awake at 4:30AM when the water had turned cold - dried off - got dressed and went back to work another 12+ hour day - yes - YES - the professional glamour of it all !!!
