Re: work time



Thanks for the stats, Doug. It would be nice to know what analysis they're
based on. Does she mention it in the book? In any case, I always want to
tear my hair out when I see stuff like this. I mean, you have to doubt the
analysis of anyone who seems to have no recognition of the limitations of
his/her work. 2309 hours in 1500? Not, say, 2308 or 2310? This kind of
thing is all too common these days, and most people don't think twice about
it.

As far as the pace of work goes, it seems to me that office work in the US
is generally pretty leisurely as well. Also, how to compare sitting in one
place and moving a mouse around, occasionally clicking, with plowing or
churning or cutting wood?
