Yep same. At the computer 14 hours yesterday to get 10 billable. Between technology glitches, family distractions, Whitehouse press conferences and general anxiety. No bueno.

If you’re on the computer round the clock, why are you only hitting 8 hours?

The poor technology should be booked obviously. If it’s slower in general, then it still gets charged for whatever needs to get done. If there are outages, that should be booked to lost time. You’re still using the hours to try to do the work.

Same. Two little kids. Barley any sleep.
