In Reply To: If you're stressed out by too much overtime - make it a religious thing: tell your manager that you have to attend daily prayers, a service, whatever as required by your religion at a specific time, let's say 8:30 pm to 11:30. Nobody will want to mess with that, you can go home (or to your hotel) and get back to a civilized work schedule.
Message: I like EX-AP's idea. You can tell them you have to go to a "community religious event" every Monday and Wednesday (and some Tuesdays and Thursdays) from 7 PM to 10 PM. This event has to be done in these next few critical months otherwise I will miss this golden opportunity and this event does not come for another 20 years. When the event is completed, I will let you know (i.e. the event will be completed at the end of this messy project).
