(Over)Work/Life Balance

File this one under "Duh!":
British researchers followed thousands of civil servants for more than a decade and found that regular and excessive overtime led to increased health issues.
While they conclude that the study is not definitive, they do state that there is enough evidence to show long hours are a health risk.
Your boss will be happy to note their conclusion that an occasional long day or even an hour or two on a regular basis is not considered a risk.
It is only the regular 10 or 11 hour day that will have you using your sick days for cardiac intervention (great news, eh?).
