I had the same situation during my 28 year high tech career, sometimes even 80+ hour weeks at times. But I (and others with similar jobs) had no problem disappearing at project's end for a week or two, without submitting vacation hours. That was standard practice in my line of work.
Bizarre story about my type of career and the absence of time cards, no set hours, work whatever hours you want, work from home, etc. One of our engineers hadn't been seen or spoken to in several weeks. No one really noticed until one day someone said, "Anyone seen or talked to "Fred" lately". He was found dead in his condo! Bizarre as it sounds, this is not unheard of in Silicon Valley.
