Typically the Irish work day starts at 9am and goes until 5:30pm with an hour around 12:30 for lunch. Yesterday was not a typical day for me, nor are the standard Irish working hours typically the hours that I work. Though, that's also true when I'm back in the US. I tend to work longer than the standard work day would require.
Yesterday, I started at 8am and finished at 1am this morning (with a break here and there for lunch, dinner, and to talk to my wife). That's a 17 hour work day. I do believe this was the longest work day that I've logged. I've gone 12-13 hours before, but never have I had a marathon like I had yesterday.
I hope that this is not par for the course on this project. At the end of last week I received a copy of the project plan, where my hours for this week were supposed to total over 80. Considering I'm losing Friday to a flight back to the US, that would mean that I'd need to work 20 hours a day. Perhaps we have a resourcing issue?
I guess I'll be working on the plane - something I typically try not to do.
