As a creative I was expected to work late all week and sometime come in and work on weekends too. Being relatively young at the time and knowing no better, it was fear of losing the job (which I was convinced was great!) that forced me to comply with unreasonably demands on my time. It was virtually impossible to exist in a stable relationship outside of work. Mine broke down because of it. What was particularly interesting though was the number of relationships that bloomed within the ad agencies - as 90% of our working hours were spent there it makes sense I suppose.
