You got it right with second job

During the 6 week build time I probably spent between 4-8 hours a night including weekends for the entire 6 weeks. To make matters worse our build location is 45 minutes from where I work, further from home. Its alot of fun, but it sometimes does get into work when you think of an idea and go to the lab to try it out or see how it might work. One of our other problems is our welder leaves each day at about 2:30 so we need to meet with him before that to get things lined up. I know alot of the engineers and mentors on many teams that have little kids (Or I guess any kids) really can't spend that much time after work without it affecting home life. It would be really cool if our sponsers all realized the time commitment and accepted a fraction of the time during work hours, some do and some do not.
