The Picard ManeuverWe've clearly created a utopia.
TheSparrowPrince9-5 is the old slang. It’s really more like 8-6 or 9-7 now.
Just one less hour to be a person. That’s all.
Damn. Why do you work this way? Don’t you have regulations and stuff?
In Austria I already work 8-4 and we are currently talking about reducing it to 8-3.
This is mostly an American problem. Here in the EU it’s less of an issue. Even here in Spain, where we work 9 to 6 or 9 to 7, is always because, either we have a big break in the middle of something. And regarding kids, I don’t have them, but those who do in my company usually take the time off to go, pick then up and get them home or something if the school is nearby. Otherwise they arrange some home delivery or something, as I recall.
