30 min lunch. Required as a state employee. So I go downstairs and watch cartoons. It actually helps mentally some days. -- nm - sycor Jan 5, 08:53
The first thing I would try to break him of is the notion that a professional work day is exactly 8 hours long -- nm - rollo Jan 5, 08:34 6

- I leave the house at 9am, I get home at 5:30pm. That is 8 and a half hours!!! - Spawn Jan 5, 08:43 1
  - Don't you work for yourself tho? Don't let your boss find out you're such a scallywag! -- nm - rollo Jan 5, 08:46
- oh for sure. and that every hour worked over 40 should have a comp hour. I wonder what the average workweek is in the US these days. -- nm - judge amanda jones Jan 5, 08:37
- Yes, sometimes it should only be 4 hours long -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:35 1
