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

[Gene Kim-Eng]

Personally, I dislike this way of looking at things, as well as 
"work/life balance" and "work to live vs. live to work."  All 
of these imply that life and work are different things.  My 
work is part of my life, and I won't sacrifice enjoyment or 
satisfaction in one part just so I can finance other parts and
seek them there.  If I find that I am regularly not enjoying 
my job enough that I occaisionally find myself thinking that 
I might just go on doing it even if I became fabulously 
wealthy, or that my job is crowding out the other things 
in life that I enjoy that much, that's my first warning sign 
that it might be time to look for another one.  How many 
hours a week that might take is one of those "it depends"
things.
