Rarely a lunch break and he is always in work 30minutes before his official start time and 20 - 30 minutes afterwards.

I had a prof. who once said humans worked fewer hours when they were cave dwellers! I think it must be true. The cave is now the cubicle.SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.com
