I get the praises from our manager while he gets complaints regularly. dont be fooled, working long hours doesnt mean you are hard working or that you are smart. it just means you need more hours to complete the job. my japanese coworker’s schedule is 8 to 5 while mine is 745am to 430pm.

Great article. This is a funny/disturbing video of the prevalence of public sleeping. Although I'm sure a lot has to do with intoxication...I think the root is the overworking (self-imposed or otherwise) of the population: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u1TpF8xzRE So true!

I do know for sure that I don't walk in some cubicle hell, costantly worrying about bills. however, I guess it's a question of courage. Do we stick to the status quo? Get some stable job, pension, bills, and all that? Or shake things up? Honestly, I'd love to do the latter myself, and so would a lot of people I think, but I guess the unknown is scary. You know?
