When I am scheduled to be in an office working 7.5 hour days, I only 
really, truly work about 5 hours *maximum.* most days, and usually 
about 4 hours.

I can get my work done more efficiently when I know that it will be 
about 4-5 hours of extremely focused work.  I enjoy this. I do not 
enjoy having to be at a job for 7.5 hours KNOWING that I can get the 
work done in the 4-5 hours.

Viva la France!

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the 
circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what 
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is 
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
