My employer is adamant I work until 10PM today to finish up a task, which would conflict completely with my date. im more surprised they think its ok to allow this practice, but hey. Anyways, I still have a date with that one chick, she agreed to go out on one, she's just been busy. So the question, to bail on the date or keep working?

For those curious, the problem i ahve to fix is a parser system that needs to detect hundreds of different edge cases and issues with a bunch of files, and it doesnt look like today will be the day its fixed if at all

I don't know about life there, but in most places your boss won't appreciate your sacrifices and there won't be any future reward for them. So the girl might not be worth it but still there is some possibility of a good outcome, which can't be said about the common work situation of having to stay late at work.
