You do realize that the 2pm tea time is no joke and France shuts down every workday from 2-7 pm right?

Not when I was there, though that was Calais and catering to the english looking for cheap booze.

Even if they do, so what? What concern is it of ours?

Personally I want to work less. I would be quite happy with a four day work week at reduced pay and am seriously considering moving to a part time micriobiology position. I make almost 10 dollars more an hour but its high part time. Unfortunately those positions always go to the most senior people and I'm 20 years away from that.

I seem to be one of the few people who like shift work. My best hours were 12 hour shifts because you were never more then 3 days away from the weekend.

Case in point ^^^^

Hey, hey-hey hey
Therell be food on the table tonight
Hey, hey, hey hey
Therell be pay in your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
A life that is led is no more than a token
Wholl strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
If I yell out at night theres a reply of bruised silence
The screen is no comfort I cant speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know why

But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(therell be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(therell be pay in your pocket tonight)

The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
Theyre crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So Im caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company wont come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company wont save me
Whos gonna save me?

But if I work all day...

And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothings as precious, as a hole in the ground

Whos gonna save me?
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Whos gonna save me?
Weve got nothing to fear

In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town

The Sugar Refining company couldn't save shit. What a crappy place to work. Unions can eat my ass even more than before.

Sounds like a "sweet" job.

When my old man came back from Amsterdam he told me a lot of Europe works those hours.

My record was 108 days @12 hours/day,sometimes 14.

Sugar isn't sweet. It's evil.

I can't afford a 35 hour week. My usual week consists of 60 to 70 hours, two weeks ago it was 90.

No wonder half the stuff you say is totally nuts, you don't sleep!
