You have a horrible PM if that person is tossing extra work at you. Your PM should be tracking your time to your goals and know if you are on track or behind. If you are ahead they should be able to add work if needed. Anyone else that asks

We have 6 in our backyard and you hardly notice them. They are generally very quiet. The only times ours makes noise is if one chases another. The birds in the tree make a lot more noise.

I wouldn't work 50-60+ hour weeks. I'm 36 now with 2 kids. I've come to realize that all that time I put in really didn't do much at all for me. I'd much rather have my free time back then make someone else rich.
