[quote=Anonymous]You keep doing what you are doing. If you have annual performance reviews, you could initiate a conversation about your productivity, NOT about the hours you work, though I wouldn't do it. If you do decide to bring it up, you should think long and hard in advance about what you want from it. Do you want some formal recognition of your boundaries? Are you prepared to change if your boss says s/he wants more hours? 
The reality is some people always seem busy/complain of being busy because that's who they are. I've worked with a some of them. All those hours they work may or may not translate into being productive. If you are being productive in your hours and giving good value to your organization, then you should feel comfortable with that. 
One thing: when there truly is a deadline that needs to be met requiring evening/weekend work, you should try your best to contribute in some way. If you are going out of town, fine, but you should try to find some time to offer. Say "I can work for a few hours Friday night to draft the document and then send it out for others to edit", that kind of thing.
