RE: worst RPG ever seen?

Well... I find that "scheduled work hours" is not a good measure of the hours
one actually works. I find there's a difference between the hours on the clock
and the time workers put in during the day. I find that, (often) people who brag
about long hours actually work few hours per day than those with fewer schedule
work hours. Why? I believe it's because there's less time to finish things so
there less incentive and opportunity to waste time. Thus a culture of working is
created vs a culture of finding ways to fill the extra time to look busy.

6.75 hours per day with 2 15 minute breaks and a 45 minute lunch....
Anything more would be uncivilized.

:)

I recall the days of working for private business...  10 and 12 hour days, 
no lunch breaks... and most importantly, no recognition ....

|To be totally honest here.  I don't let work drive me insane.  I just
do
|my job to the best of my ability and at 4:30 I go home.  I don't think
no
|more about it until 9:00 AM the next morning.  I don't get paid enough
|(nor could I ever get paid enough) to let the worries of work follow me
|home.  I leave them at the door when I leave.  I do get frustrated at
|times, but never to the point where I would lose my sanity.  That comes
|when I get home and can't get in the front door because the kids have
it
|blocked off with bookbags, shoes, sneakers and boots lol.  But work..
nah
|I don't let that bother me.  but of course... I'm union too and work
for
|government so I guess I might be a special case.... :)
