Reply #9: remember how computers were supposes to make work easier?

neither do i.

this is my #1 issue for saving my life. i want to work MUCH MUCH less, and enjoy it MUCH MUCH more.

i believe even the 40 hour work week is too much, once you add in both parents working, absurd commute times, child pick up, & daily errands, there is little home life left.

the poster saying it's due to ignorance is spot on. americans simply don't know how much time other industrialized nations get off. even the japanese take more time off than we do! add in the judeo-christian work ethic, and we can't even enjoy the time we do take.

a pitiful situation, and anyone who opts out is labeled a lazy hippy.
