    8 hours... You probably couldn't pay me enough to make me want to work more than that. I have family, friends, and hobbies that differ from work. Work to me is just a means to pay for the better part of my life. Hogan

        That's some day. You working on some form of Tardis simulation software?

            That's a blast from the past. i did an app for a client once in Borland OWL running against the paradox engine. Almost takes me back to my Clipper Summer 87 days....and the time before I wed. Oh yes...before the wife & kids, when spare cash was a reality, and I could have the same sport on every TV in the house at the same time....so I didn't miss anything. When I could leave the loo seat up without reprimand. And take my socks off whilst in bed and not before, finding them still there a week later.

              1-12 hours a day...Just depends on what needs to get done. On average about 6 hours a day.

              Think of it this way...using a Stradivarius violin to pound nails should not be considered a sound construction technique

                    aye, and you tell the youngsters of today that, and they won't believe you....they won't! Albatross!

                    I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

                          I work in a call center. I work 8hrs ± .5 right now. But I work 6 days a week. So that amounts to nearly 48 hrs per week!!!

                                ouch, I at least get compensated for my hours. There is the rare occasion of no-comp, but it is rare. Now time-and-a-half is only for hourly workers, but there is straight time compensation for salaried personnel on approved hours, on overtime approved jobs.

                                  Why would you assume that? I see no reason to get paid for work I do at home (e.g., father, husband, landowner). ;)

                                    LUXURY!!! I get up, every morning at 12:01am lick the road clean for breakfast, go to work with no breaks, I get off work 23 hours and 58 minutes later, go to sleep at 12 while my neighbor beats me to sleep with a bread knife. ( or something like that )

                                      good one.... I guess I jumped to the conclusion because my last job I did work 19.5 a few times (and then only paid for 8). Here I have pulled 16-18 on VERY rare occasions (but compensated fully). But I will admit, you caught me. :) I guess that brings my hours to about the same with only 10-12 being compensated.

                                        Why would you assume that? I see no reason to get paid for work I do at home (e.g., father, husband, landowner). ;)

                                        Hehe, I read that as 'lawnmower'. Yes that would be work :)

                                          LUXURY!!! I get up, every morning at 12:01am lick the road clean for breakfast, go to work with no breaks, I get off work 23 hours and 58 minutes later, go to sleep at 12 while my neighbor beats me to sleep with a bread knife. ( or something like that )

                                          Think of it this way...using a Stradivarius violin to pound nails should not be considered a sound construction technique

                                          I think we've all been watching too much Monty Python!
