Nobody can tell me they can work at full concentration 12 hours<br>

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.<br><br>
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. <br><br>
