You have also made a Grammar mistake, concerning the Tenses.
Generally, we use Perfect with "for". In your sentence you need to conjugate your verb in Present Perfect Continues, as your sentence has a certain duration "for about an hour".
E.g. I have been playing soccer with my boss about an hour. Since I have not played it for so long, I had a snitch

No, Likaa. There is nothing to indicate that the writer does not suffer those conditions now, at the time of writing. Nor is continuous aspect required for a durational phrase, though it is frequently used.
