Oh sleep and free time, how I miss thee. I need to find another line of work, me thinks, one that affords me the luxury of having enough time to breathe. I interviewed someone for an article yesterday who said that he only has to work five to ten days a month in order to get by. Let’s just say my jaw dropped to the floor faster than a bowling bowl off a clammy hand, and I responded with an oh-so-professional chorus of “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Sleep and free time are hot commodities

It would be funny if that were scripted like a Q-and-A format piece, including your comment. Very verite’.Looking forward to hearing more about the research when you have the time. I appreciate it!

How can anyone get by on 5-10 days of working a month? I certainly couldn’t!

I have friends who are flight attendants who have been flight attendants for so long that they only work two days a week. Yes, they work about 8 days a month. Some times, they take “extra” trips just for the layover in the city so they can party in a different city.
I hate them.

I think I’d get bored if I only worked 5-10 days a month. I think I could happily work only 17 days a month with just a little more time off than usual.

Seems like the politicians get buy without working at all…but thats just my opinion. Say besides not having any spare time…and being over worked how have you been? Happy 2006 to you and Chelsea.
