You are well remunerated for your work, if the hours were so bad to make it intolerable you could easily change jobs.

because there are two, both equally respected (in terms of the "respect" of the economists involved anyway) theories about which way this will go, and they are diametrically opposite.

It's almost - almost - as if economists don't have a fucking clue what will happen, what with economics being based entirely on precedent and there not being any, and are purely producing the most extreme scenarios in a desperate bid for attention. The Lady Gaga approach to economics, if you will.
