    Why did you work that much?

        Good stuff. I worked crazy like that once before too, during the Kaseya ransomware breach. Was the specialist rebuilding functioning AD and recovery efforts in over 50 companies that month. It was a wild time, everything was on fire, so it was constant triage and scary recoveries (some lost absolutely everything - test your backups folks)

        Would 100% do it again but like you mentioned you knew it was very temporary. Doing that long term is insanity
