I hate to say it but the only ONE good thing in my area of work is that time in not an issue. So if that means you have to stay at work 'til 9 PM and you got there at 9 AM then you do it. If your harvest requires you to be in the lab at mid night--oh well, the mice can't tell time and neither can the cells... But my boss is still an A$$hole about our time frames--like there can be punch clock for these kinds of things!!! But some in the field are too assholic about it, just as long as you get the work done, well in a timely manner.
And oh yeah, I've had to work thru plenty of holidays including Christmas Day, and New Years Eve without overtime pay!!! Oh the life of a researcher...
