Daze Of Our Lives

These days, it seems that so little time is given to rest and relaxation. There has been a reversal trend for a lot of us in the private sector. Once upon a time, in a century long since past, a normal work week was in the range of sixty hours. In later years, the work week decreased as low as thirty-six hours in some cases. The U.S. average work week is a little longer than that. These days, my average work week exceeds seventy hours, which is admittedly more than the national average. I'm sure a lot of my traveling colleagues will agree that the work that they do sometimes requires even more time. With all of the marvels of technology, we seem to have created a lot more work for ourselves. I think we all need to just stop and smell the proverbial roses once in a while. That's my soapbox for the day. See ya.
