6/19 How many hours a week do you work?
\_ during the dot com boom, +75 hr/week. After, 30 hr/week. The funny
thing is that now I enjoy my life more than before even though I
was almost a paper millionaire.
\_ do you have a 4 day workweek? or just slack off?
\_ A little bit more than 40.
\_ 0. -grad student
\_ 60+ -grad student -- not all grad students are lazy fucks.
\_ sign your name.
\_ why? what do you care?
\_ Yeah, some get the energy to moan.
\_ Work is relative. Does being _at_ work count as work even if I'm
just surfing? Total time lost is 40-100/wk plus commute. Real
work time is 10-65 + commute.
\_ 30 hr/week physically at work...actual work, 10hr/week.
\_ 40 hr/wk, 45 if you include commute, 35 if you deduct breaks.
\_ seems like people are working less post-boom. Is work getting
boring?
\_ 65 hrs/wk during the boom, 35 or so now.
\_ 50 hrs/wk at a dot-com during the boom, 40 or so now. Now my
salary is 20% higher, but I now get tiny options on stock
which probably won't go up.

\_ seems like a lot of people are working less than during the dot
com boom. Some are happier now. But are you getting bored
with your work? Are you doing more fun things with your free
time?
\_ I'm getting more, I'm working the same, I'm not any happier. My
problem is I don't want to work *at all* but can't afford to just
quit and not have an income. Starvation is so annoying.

pig]
\_ I'd like to work about 20-25 hours per week with 8-10 weeks
vacation per year, but unfortunately, there is the 40
hour work week and only 3 weeks vacation per year.
Actual time spent working is less than 40 hours,
maybe less than 30. Time spent at work probably
45-50.
\_ Since we're project-based, it's roughly 35-40 hrs during non-project
time, and x hrs during project crunch time. (x = whatever it takes) |
