jeeze man, it's 60 hours a week (assuming that we never leave early or take a day off).

It's nowhere near the hours worked by a first year analyst at an ibank, or by a first year associate at a law firm.

Bill is not saying we are particularly proud of how much we work, just that we aren't apologizing for it. Especially when we are talking about the first 5 employees in the company.

Trust me, I don't want to be working 12 hour days a year from now, but it's what the company requires right now. I enjoy coming to work every day and working on something I love. I'd much rather do that for 12 hours a day, than watch the clock for 8.
