      I spend around 8 hours a day at work, although I never really switch off work. It’s a bit of a hobby as well and I really enjoy what I do most of the time. It’s not really physically demanding, although it can be very mentally challenging sometimes, especially when I have to wade through a whole bunch of measurements to find out what is really going on. I’m also not a great programmer, but sometimes I have to write some code to do a repetitive task and that I find really hard; mostly because I don’t do enough of it and I have to re-learn everything from scratch.

      I’m similar to Bernard, that I also work around 8 hours a day. I still think about work when I’m at home sometimes, but I try to give myself lots of time off too. It can be hard work – some days I feel like I’ve got a million things to do and no time to do them. But those are often the days I enjoy the most. When I get home after them, I feel like I’ve achieved things and that’s really satisfying.
