You are choosing to volunteer, that's cool inside any system. Imagine putting in 100 hour work weeks, developing a product like the blue LED or lithium ion battery thus creating billions upon billions of dollars of revenue and you don't even get a pizza party or a Friday off. You get the same base pay and your family gets no benefit no matter how hard you work so may as well not create any value and just do the minimum beyond what you're impassioned to do for free like volunteering.

Also sidebar I am so awfully tempted to make a joke about double tonguing the sax. Like a sax on the beach type joke.

Oh I remember those hundred hour weeks. They nearly killed both me and my relationship with my wife, who was also doing hundred hour weeks at the time. Fortunately it only lasted five months, but like we saw each other awake twelve hours those months. It was hell.

And double tounging is the wall I'm hitting in sax right now. I think I'm breathing wrong or something. But yeah, sax and it's techniques are full of double entendrés.

I'm pretty sure we're both double tonguing these comments right now so to speak. If by chance you are being serious then I hope you were both appropriately compensated for the efforts and ultimately that the work was worthwhile. The innuendos seem endless.
