Maybe he comes back as a feel-good story for Yankees fans but he's never going to be their closer again. You know everyone involved will want him to go out with some dignity, even me, so I hope he comes back, even if it's some half-rigged relief appearance against the Royals.

One of the biggest chores (though I admit it's still some what fun) that hasn't been mentioned yet, is maintaining your computer and other electronic devices you have, including keeping up with whatever the newest technology is. Once you factor that in along with all other chores and everything else, 40 hours really isn't doable. People have mentioned this in here all ready, but building your own skills, which include learning about various electronics, is very important, and neglecting that is a mistake. It's not everyone, but a good portion of the time when people are working 60-80 hours a week, they made extremely bad life decisions, then try to impose what they do on everyone else. Games and other entertainment also do have value, and you can't simply dismiss them as "game and entertainment".

can you weigh in on the awesome debate Subdiety and Vlado are having? please

Those are two horrible examples.

Titanic is called Titanic because it is about the experience one woman had surviving the sinking of the ship, and the romance she had while a passenger on board.

Pirates of the Caribbean is called Pirates of the Caribbean because its named after a Disneyland ride, and also because Jack Sparrow and his friends ARE Pirates in the Caribbean. Therefore its about Pirates of the Carribean.

Neither movie is about Tron and he's just a supporting character in both


He's the program that Flynn interacts with both in the real world and in the mainframe - very significant to the entire presentation of the movie/games.

Otherwise, every programming job should have a work-from-home option, at least for non-critical dates (meetings, performance reviews, etc.) If you can get your job done, why do you have to show up in the office in a suit (or business casual attire) when doing so actually reduces your productivity (being neatly dressed won't help you code better.) Even meetings can be scheduled via teleconferencing. And there's always the threat of being fired if you underperform.

In the past IBM gave nearly all of its software engineers the work-from-home option. It's a shame newer IBM offices and other companies don't offer the same choices/benefits.

As for labour/hourly wage jobs, there's absolutely zero incentive to be productive because you get paid the same anyway. When I used to volunteer at a library for junior high school (LOL), I would sort/shelve 2X as many books as the slowest guy. Not only was I not compensated for it, I got assigned more work for the same # of hours, so by the end of my internship I slowed my pace down to be in line with everyone else's.


None of this sounds like it comes from the mindset of being a motivated employee. Your library job is a good example - you don't perform better and demand more, you just work less.

From an employer's point of view, think about it this way - if you can 'get the job done' in less than 8 hours per day, you should also be doing other jobs to fill those 8 hours. You should be looking for work, your productive little fingers should be eager for the next assignment.

An employee with the mindset that you describe shouldn't expect more benefits, such as working from home, and having flexible work day lengths.

What was my point earlier? I've already forgotten.

I do think that a lot of modern chores are invented, though. Before lawn mowers, did many people have grass lawns? Were there a lot of carpets in homes before the vacuum cleaner? I think a lot of these chores exist because we have the tools to address them. Nobody wanted a grass lawn without an effective way to maintain it (lawn mower invented in the nineteenth century).

I don't know where I'm going with this.


That people from yesteryear had to work more hours so we should feel lucky. I don't disagree with that notion, but I did notice the original post mentioned chores.

The difference between a modern lawn mower and a reel mower is significant. I own both... the reel mower takers hours, and has to be maintained after every mow, and it's all powered by the man pushing it. You also have to rake up the grass trimmings. A modern mower at a minimum will cut the grass with its own effort and for a few extra bucks will propel itself and bag grass.

This goes along with other chores, doing dishes, laundry, keeping your domain clean, etc. I kinda think this might be overlooked - it's okay to work less hours because everything also takes less time and there's more to do.

Bartz to respond to your point, I think it's not so much the 80 or 40 hour work week compared to the past, it's the chores. Today's chores are almost a luxury - lawn mower, dishwasher, laundry machines, running water/heated water in the home, vacuum cleaners, etc.

The review proceeds under the premise that were it not for government providing A, B, or C, then A, B, and C would not be provided. If there were no government-funded road connecting Sears to that apartment complex, we’d presumably all be standing around like doofuses, scratching our heads and wondering how on earth to get those dishwashers to our dwellings.

Literally defending having less time to enjoy your life.

Again, yes you COULD work 40+ hour work weeks, but why would you want to? People in this topic make no sense.

Part of having a career with advancement opportunities. Job security makes me happy, and so does not having to worry about money.

Not true, it's not a requirement at all. At least in companies that aren't completely backwards, it's what you get done that counts, not how many hours you spend at work.


Billable hours are important for contract work. Your day should be a certain amount of billable hours at a certain productivity rate, for such a company. It's not so much "what you get done" but "what are you working on after that?"

I didn't drop down to 40 hours until I became a parent. With a 30 minute lunch and 90 minute total commute, an 8 hour day is 10 hours planned. Shower/breakfast is about half an hour. General looking around the internet before work, probably another half hour. So 11 hours from waking up, I'd be home and ready to do whatever. If we toss in 8 hours of bedtime, that's 5 hours somewhat free - when I wasn't a parent, dinner was whatever I wanted it to be. Can't really count that as infringing on your free time. What chores do you really need to do - dishes you should do every day, laundry you can do weekly, and most other things can wait until the weekend. 40 hour work week = tons of free time
