Now which would I prefer, spending the evening revising diligently like a good professional archaeologist or maybe forgetting about archaeology for a few hours and have a few beers with friends or sit down to read a book that is....sacrilege....not about archaeology, before the whole cycle starts again! Archaeology is not a 'lifestyle' choice for everyone and I think this is a point that is sometimes forgotten.
I only hope you are getting paid or getting TOIL for all that overtime. Perhaps if the latter you could use some of that time to do some of what PP was talking about.
