[QUOTE="aspenleaf, post: 92628, member: 5143"] I was not trying to say you are a fool or anything. Just that we as a whole in this country are very overworked in any job. Everyone is working longer hours and having less time off. We are working ourselves to death. Work seems to consume our lives and it is very hard to even forget about it while on vacation. At my last job I worked 4 10 hour days and then had to do another 10 hour day for OT plus they would add 2 more hours to each day but not tell you until just before you were clocking out (due to the huge layoffs). Our breaks and lunch had a set time and you had to IM a supervisor ever time you left for break or lunch to ask permission. If there were too many calls coming in you didn't get to go until later or not at all. I never saw my family either and the job still wanted more (such as coming in on my weekend!) To get through my days I used to pretend I was on one of those reality tv shows. I hope you find something that will let you see your family. [/QUOTE]
