This may be off topic, but I think worth comment. I am all to aware that people
(including myself) who work in this industry suffer from the myth that all people who
jockey computers for a living will (almost) willingly work outrageous hours to meet
impossible deadlines.
Phoey.
I am willing to work long hours toward the end of a project to make that final push,
but quite frankly, my life is my own and there is a certain portion of it that just
isn't for sale. If someone needs you to consistently work 65 hour weeks, the need
to hire more animators.
I would hate to look back on my life when I'm 80 and realize that I spent most of it
staring at a monitor (now matter how much fun it can be...).
