This is my thinking about time.

If I can put up with work getting in the way of life (on call, no overtime pay, etc) employers can put up with life getting in the way of work (appointments, off topic research, etc).

Nine times out of ten it ends up helping them too. The research ends up being mutually beneficial. A healthy me keeps coming to work. The list goes on.

I just try to be honest and reasonable about it. So far they have too. Please let me know what needs to be done, and it will get done.
