Narrative:

I exceeded 30 hs in 7 days without realizing that I had done so. I got in late on a red eye flight to sfo and did not realize that I had exceeded the 30 in 7 rule by flying the red eye the next night back to base. I didn't learn of the mistake until I was notified by my company a week later that I had exceeded the time.
