I dunno - a lot of the things I do for fun are ones I can get paid for. 80 hour work weeks are not especially productive; indeed, people who work too many hours are less productive than people who work closer to 40. I doubt most people can sustain productive brain-work for very long, or do it most of the time without needing breaks. Long ones. :) I knew a manager who thought the company was best served by people working six days a week, 8-10 hours a day, or more, and was, himself, in at least 60 hours a week. He sucked. His employees struggled, they botched, they didn't think clearly. Weeks were wasted. Horrible management philosophy. -s -- seebs@plethora.net -- I am not speaking for my employer.
