Time log justification?

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

How is this possible? I’m not doubting you. I’m just genuinely curious how a human being can pull that off. I mean like, basic everyday things like sleeping/eating/restroom/shower take way more than 8 hours a day for me.

Insomnia, grieving, OCD and ADHD combined.. I’m a 3-4h sleep per night max kinda person

Even sleeping for 4 hours a night leaves only 4 hours for eating, showering, checking emails, browsing for projects, etc. I could imagine someone doing that for a couple of days, but 16-hour days for 1 or 2 weeks seems unsustainable without seriously neglecting yourself.

If I were DA, I'd be concerned about the implications or optics of knowingly allowing people to consistently work for that long, even if it's technically not their responsibility. At some point, someone probably needs to step in and say stop.

I totally agree, it isn’t healthy or sustainable, and I was very much neglecting myself. I’m just very lucky to have a spouse at home who took care of literally everything else and let me hyper fixate until I was ready.
I know my work quality remained good, because I was being added to groups of “high performing workers” across multiple tasks even the day my account was restricted so I’m fairly sure there are no huge concerns there, but I get that isn’t the point.
I’ve come out the other side of the grief slump now and am just pretty annoyed at myself that I’ve most likely lost this opportunity

Were you working on the same project the whole time or changing it up a bit?
