Ok. In the non-profit I work with, crazy hours general means send out a 
call to get more hands on deck. I do understand loving what one does, 
however after some amount of time, people begin to grow weary and need 
break. But the 'show must go on' so others come in to do the work.

My comment to clarify what 'non-profit' means wasn't aimed at anyone. I 
didn't mention a person. I was simply clarifying what 'non-profit' 
status is - because I've come across more than one person who thinks a 
non-profit is something other than what it really is: a tax status.
