I am confused now, I assume it is a work project you are talking about? If not then knock yourself out.
I could never be accused of doing archaeology 9-5 for the money etc (what a joke that is anyway) having spent endless amounts of my spare time doing stuff basically for free when I could be doing something else. That isn't the point - I would never expect anyone else to work like that or be forced to work like that if they didn't want to. That includes doing free overtime, giving talks at weekends/evenings with no corresponding pay or time off. You give across the impression that you think this is normal and how everyone should act. Or am I wrong?
