Totes agree on that. We have all this great tech but we're still expected to sit at a desk for 8+ hours a day. I completely get that some jobs can't telecommute and you just need to be in an office sometimes, but the desire to old onto that work model while wanting to add in the access technology provides is the worst of both worlds for the average worker. Great for companies though. So many other countries have some great things going on but it gets shot down when you bring it up because "well America is better overall so we don't want to copy whatever country" I agree that America is great, doesn't mean we can't utilize ideas from other countries that would make us better. Very little willingness to to acknowledge that sometimes our way may not be the best (or only) way.
Actually just read about a study saying that a 4 day 35 hour workweek might be the most productive.
Nah, I don't think I'd want the headaches inherent in the moderator job. I'm looking to be promoted to VIP poster as soon as I figure out the qualifications.
I've realized that I'm one of the few regulars on RT that isn't at level 100. I keep waiting to get sent down to the minors.
did I mess that up? I can't find the article now but I thought's that what it was. You work slightly longer hours M-Th and take Friday (or Monday, or whichever day I suppose) off.
Sara is over here ****** at you guys complaining about 40 hours as she gets ready to go to her third job.
Four 9 hour days would be 36, but it is feasible that they were advocating for four 8:45 days. I was just giving you crap. Heck my average day is already 8:45 plus so I might as well do four of them rather than five...
DH's company is something like 38 and 20 minutes and then if you do 8.5 or whatever the math is, he gets every other Friday off. Yeah I don't think the article said 9 hours. Pretty sure it was some funky amount.
I am also short of Level 100. I don't think I'll ever get there. :sad:
I think you need to start lots of threads and I only start threads in WBB and occasionally elsewhere but the MBB and football forums are mostly farts in the wind threads and I don't feel the need to start another Blazing Saddles fireside thread.
I actually have no idea how this points stuff works.

HAhaha...I travelled to a company facility in SoCal where everyone commutes nearly an hour each way to be able to afford a decent house in a decent neighborhood, so they work 9 hour days and take every other Friday off (one less day to commute every other week). I joked that I already work 9 hour days and don't get every other Friday off, I'm gettin' hosed.
And cooler, you rattin' b***ard, you're the first one getting banned when I'm mod. See you try and get your *** to level 100 on a ****ing ban, pal.
:wink:
I hear you; same here. It is interesting that we have almost the same number of likes on our posts.
I think I'm partially hurt by my likes received/likes given ratio. I know many on here won't like posts if that's too askew. I just post all the time from mobile, so I don't give a lot of likes as I have to log in to full site to do so.
Just looked up my threads started history. Last one was almost a year ago.
Most successful ones have been "What's the last Good Book you've Read" with almost 400 posts and then my troll job "We Can Still Make a Bowl Game" that I did this last season.
Edit: I didn't realize you had as many posts as you do! I assumed I had more.
Sorry, that's dumb. It's like communism. I'm free market thumbs-up, baby...if it's a worthy post, I'll give it. Heck, I've even given thought to giving it to posters I generally dislike, but at the end of the day, I decided if it's a good post, I give it. My ratio is skewed because I tend to post smart-arse stuff or kiddos stuff, and kiddos stuff always gets a hit from Rev.
Happy B-Day REV.
Work what it takes to get stuff done. Sometimes longer sometimes less. don't like it quit and find something else. Most peoples world never came to an end because they quit a job and most businesses don't fail cause someone quits.

I feel like storm chaser right now freaking out about Fedex. If they don't deliver this $60,000 unit so that I can ship it back out still today, i won't be happy.
One of the funniest scenes in motion picture history. Would be cool if you'd start a thread.
