Its time for overtime…
Going back home from work? Most people are crammed in the tubes, standing on the trains, sweating on the busses... But no, not me....
20:15, on the train back to London 
Think that's late? Nope.. I've seen worse than that 
. Last Friday saw me coming home after 22:00 and occasionally not even returning at all, just getting a room in a random hotel and sleeping next to the office, as the last train has gone. As one of my colleagues pointed out, people in our profession tend to forget what normal working hours are like. Wierd but true. Leaving work at 19:00 seemed normal, while leaving at 17:30 seems like working half day. Going out on a weekday seems nearly impossible when you are the man on the critical path.
On the bright side, its not always like that. There will definitely be times where nothing's happening in the office and the occasional day to work from home.
It took me some time to realise, but there is one thing that you must learn in consulting:
Appreciate and make the most of the down-time that you might have.. Because it wont last for long...
