2. Ah, you're right.
I've been thinking it's Tuesday all day long. I'm such a dork.

4. I do that all the time
I have to stop and think what day it is half the time :crazy:

I hope it makes you feel better that he isn't working 16 hours on V-Day
:party:

3. This isn't something thats going to be a regular occurrence is it?
Some years ago I worked for company that thought it was great that I could sustain 16 hrs/day and not complain. After a year or so of it, the fatigue and stress take a pretty awful toll on your body and spirit. Needless to say, I DO NOT work for those people any more.

If this is something that is going to happen once in a great while, you can breath a little easier.

Still, I don't think anyone should be working those kinds of hours, even if by their own free will.

Best luck to you and your hubby!

5. No. It will just be tomorrow.
His boss is out tomorrow and the other manager can't work, so it looks like he's there for the whole day.
