Are you in software development or such work. That kind of work I am told involves late hours. During my working life we did not have computers.

@maezee Even though the office timing is 9am to 5:30pm.I have no proper timing at evening , still average up to 7PM I have to at office. It is because of some production delays, on which we cannot do anything.

So you work up to 2:30 PM...What time you have to start?

Spending over time can be good once in a while since you get to be paid extra. But don't do it frequently because it might become too exhausting.

Yeah you are right. Its really hard if we have frequent overtime work. Most of the days I have to be over time, not because of the uncompleted works, but some unavoidable delays in the Plant Working hours.

Sir, Its true that we can do over time work only in the younger ages. And for bachelors there is no worries to take overtime.

Sir,What you do now in the retired life?

Divya, Nice to see your response. You are right being late at office is not comfortable. As a bachelor and working away from home , I don't feel much.

I understand sometimes when we are too tied up with our work, we just don't have time to even take a short break. Hope you have got some good rest by now. I am working hard with my software project, and I am glad I was able to a good afternoon nap while my children were playing on their own. I was very tired. Besides that, everything was good!

You asked it before two years, anyway my day is going good here now. The weather is too hot and humid, which is killing all people here. Horrible climate indeed.

I too have odd working hours. As I have to reach office till 2:00 pm and reach back home till 11- 12 at night. But I like the timings as I get plenty of time to sleep in the morning and do some house hold work too.
