I am estimating I will work 74 hours this week. Today's day 4 and it'll be my 48 hours out of those 74. I am running out of energy xD!!!
That said, I want to apologise if I seem distant or if I stop replying in the middle of conversations or even if I am a bit harsher than usual, it is insanely hard on me xD!

He was one of those people who just decided how much work can/needed to get done without listening to reasonable estimates otherwise. A slave driver in other words.
I didn't learn much from the experience, as I eventually got into other jobs where I put in 12 and 16-hour days to meet deadlines. The US has a fear of computers becoming inoperable if technical workers form a union, so it's actually illegal for them to do so. This means this category of work can forever be plagued by employers who abuse their power and ask for impossible deadlines and as well do not pay an hourly wage (just a flat salary) for technical work. Is it any wonder why 3rd world countries are supplying more and more of this talent with this sort of abuse?
And I thought being a postgraduate student was hard. No really. Ganbatte!
