Sadly, "around the clock" makes for a sexier story. I'm reminded of a previous job where working late and being super busy was worn like a badge of honor - while 75% of the day was filled with meetings. Also, many people didn't take much vacation time until the last half of December, because they were just too busy all year long to take it beforehand. "Hey, how's it going?" "Super busy!" I don't miss that part of the culture.
