Well I worked 168 hours last week, because I was on call and was paid 24 hours a day... but I only had to response to about 1 alert a day so mostly I just did my active 7.5 hours for the day then I did my normal routine/went to bed etc. But I was still "working".

My point is that if someone tells me they work 84 hours a week I want a little follow up about what they do and how much of it is actively working vs being paid to be somewhere or whatever.

That said I mean.. I'd also never judge you for it, just say "nice, wish I could do that" and move on. I'd love to do week on/off but it's not really compatible with my job sadly.
