A half day to a 1st and 2nd generation Greek is 12 hours. Five years ago, I was on a corporate project where we were working 7 days a week for 2 months. We had food catered working till 9pm. On Sundays we started a 5am so we finished at 12pm so the group could go home and watch football.
We finished the project right before Christmas and I came down with a bad case of vertigo. I went to my ENT and helped me get thru it. I asked him if this could be brought on by stress and he said yes. He asked me what I was doing and after hearing my story he asked, "and when are you going to stop?" I don't do that any more. I put my health first. I still work on projects with very tight deadlines but I won't do what I did five years ago.
Shaun - long hours does catch up with you. Be careful.
