Sick of hearing from customers, "working late, huh?"

[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1946508, member: 50088"] Nationally, we average like 46,47 hours a week. It's not excessive. An hour and a half more a day than average at $52+/hr. Gotta look at it this way. $1,400 a month in just overtime, non peak. This opens up quality time with your family in the ability to do great things on the weekends and vacations. While "typical" families may be limited to boring nights and weekends due to lack of play money, our overtime buys quality time. Fun activities are expensive and most people go without the experiences. Quality over quantity is arguably what your wife and children want and will remember. Think about it, what exactly would you do everyday from 5:15 to bedtime? You would quickly find that the time would mostly be filled with house/yard chores, projects, and watching TV/browsing the internet. "Family time" only goes so far in reality. You really think 5 hours a night is direct family time? Remember that after daylight savings, it's dark out when your 5pm job is done. Not like you can do stuff outside anyway. The reality is, is that we earn $50-$100 a day in our final 1-2 hours in place of the average person using that time in front of the tube. Most people aren't having a grand ol' time post work everyday. [/QUOTE]
