How to log active summer job?

I wanted to see if I could get some feed back on how to log a summer job. I'm on my feet the whole time, walking around a small area. I wore my pedometer today during training, it had me burning nearly 600 calories in 3.5 hours. Should I log that as exercise, or should I up my activity level on my TDEE and recalculate that? I'll be working 3 or 4 days a week, mostly 11 hour shifts, so on the days I work I'll be burning a lot. I'm thinking since it's going to be a regular thing for the next few months it would be easier to just adjust my TDEE, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!

    If it's going to be a regular thing for a few months, then yes...I'd change your activity level to accommodate.

    Oh, and I also work out (Curves) 4 times a week and we take a 30 minute family walk most days. I had my activity level on the fitness frog calculator set at moderate for my current TDEE.
