40-hour weeks (was Re: FWD: Lack...)

[Melissa Nelson]

I have not read all the replies to this yet, but I am ASSUMING that most 
people are like me in the fact that there are weeks where 40 hours is more 
than enough and there are weeks when 50 hours is barely enough.  In my case 
anyway...this does not have a lot to do with my efficiency...as much as it 
does whatever is going on in the office, which a large percent of the time 
is out of my control.
