So... how much time should a person dedicate to work? I mean take my job for example, since I work from home, I wake up and go into the office across the hall. I work through lunch usually taking it at my desk, then at night every time I walk by I feel compelled to walk in. I remember the Xerox days... I would go in at 8am, work till 5, and go home... only during a project launch would I ever work a few hectic days. IBM on the other hand, I find myself working at least one 10 hour day a week. Deadline this deadline that. This needs to be done. When will the madness end? So do you think its from the changing times, and if I went back to say Xerox it would be like that? Or is it just my environment. I do enjoy what I do, but I do like to only work 40 hours. A) that is all I get paid for. B) I want to do other things away from work. Say painting for example. :) How does one find the perfect balance between these necessary things...

okay zig. you frigging moron... got me hooked into this new game at www.swirve.com. And well I cant figure it out. How do I eventually beat you down soo much that you die? Of course today was pretty funny since, we both were logged in at the same time, and therefore you saw what I was doing and stopped it. But that wont happen again, I will destroy you next time. How did our rivalry get to be so strong? Hmm... must have been college at putt putt right? The video games? Or maybe it was inheritted from our fathers since they were so into risk and what not. It is our tradition to carry forth until my son starts kicking your sons buttocks right? We shall see... I didnt hear boo from you this weekend which means I think you were furthering your romance... is she the one?
