That's a possibility. _Something_ has certainly happened to Tom in the
last few days!
 

 
I'm thinking it was an endorphin rush from the election results, maybe
he's finally coming down.

First off, I'm 3 hours ahead of you. I posted that at 4:48 PM my time.
 
2nd - I don't have set hours. Engineering staff in the vast majority of
high-tech companies aren't told when they need to be there, for how
long, or how late they need to stay. I haven't had to worry about that
since I was a bench technician punching a time clock in the 1980s. It's
not uncommon for me - or anyone of the engineering staff here - to take
off in the afternoon or come in later in the morning becasue they had an
errand to run.
 
This is how I know you were never more than a bench technician. If you
had any _real_ engineering experience, you'd know the term "working
hours" for engineering staff is nebulous at best. Hell, your "career" is
in the backyard of companies that pioneered the "work-life balance"
ethos, and you claim engineering staff are locked into rigid office hours?
 
3rd, I spent most of friday writing a rationale to defend suggested
changes to an ANSI Hazardous Location Standard, for a technical working
group I'm a member of. I finished it a little early. I could have stayed
home to do or maybe finished it up this weekend if I wanted to. It's a
luxury/perk I have as the most senior individual in my department and
the title of "principle engineer".
 
 

My wife who had been a IT manager/account’s definitely worked all sorts of
hours, occasionally over the weekend with pizza/beer delivery paid for by
her work, and likewise sorted out problems when we were away in Australia,
so occasionally going home “early” or coming in late so not a problem!
