 40 Hour Work Weeks Suck
I work 40 hour weeks. Nine to five. I got into the habit when I started my PhD, because I knew that if I <i>didn't</i> force myself to work to a certain schedule, I'd probably slack off.<p>If I only worked when I <i>felt</i> like it, on what I felt like working on, I would never have finished my thesis because, <i>heck</i>, who wants to do proofreading when you could be at the beach? And if I ate whatever I felt like, whenever I felt like eating it, I'd weigh three hundred pounds.<p>Anyway, the point of the story: if someone forced me to work nine to five, I'd probably hate it. But since I get to pick my own hours, I've picked nine to five.
