Watch that stereotyping there, gnu.

In my office, most people are at their desks by 7:00 a.m., and many of them don't leave until well after 5:00 p.m. I roll in between 7:30 and 7:45 in the morning, and I'm usually one of the last members of the headquarters to arrive.

Of course, the people who log the longest hours are military -- they don't get overtime. Many civil servants work the same kind of hours, but the strict rules about overtime and stand-by pay cause such arse-pain that we take our extra work home and do it there.
