I've also ...I agree - everyday should be a Sunday. I've also been ranting a lot lately (again) about working too many damn hours. <BR/><BR/>I have to start getting ready for work at 7:30am and get home at 5:30pm (and that's only because I live so close to the office - it used to 6:30am to 6:30pm). So that means I spend 10 hours a day x 5 days a week on work. Ideally, I should be getting 8 hours of sleep per night. That leaves me with a mere 6 hours a day for myself. <BR/><BR/>For the people who have children those hours are used up on picking up the kids, preparing dinner, eating dinner, clearing and doing dishes, helping with homework, taking the kids to any extra-curricular activities, etc. What does that leave them - about 20 minutes? <BR/><BR/>The rat race is so very wrong. I'm seriously thinking about re-evaluating my life and the way I live it. Life is too damn short.annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528972018222777551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-41166166355413506102007-05-21T02:36:00.000-05:002007-05-21T02:36:00.000-05:00I thought Easy was about the end of a relationship...I thought <B>Easy</B> was about the end of a relationship, moving on. . .<BR/><BR/>mind you, maybe <I>I'm just confused</I> cos that's what you want with the dollar, I guess<BR/><BR/>*frowns*I, Like The Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423569600315825506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-65945636994264848112007-05-21T00:34:00.000-05:002007-05-21T00:34:00.000-05:00hemm...maybe we are stuck in the perpetual evoluti...hemm...maybe we are stuck in the perpetual evolution of faster times and then the de-evolution will come where we will slow down.gPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439371766182405053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-33632124291233183872007-05-21T00:30:00.000-05:002007-05-21T00:30:00.000-05:00I hate the bloody rat race and I dunno why Im in i...I hate the bloody rat race and I dunno why Im in it.<BR/><BR/>Keshi.Keshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147250771662427208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-86512481494570927822007-05-20T22:50:00.000-05:002007-05-20T22:50:00.000-05:00Yep with you on this one, its all one big distract...Yep with you on this one, its all one big distraction from the real problems in life...

They are so sexy, some of the television adverts, they make me feel so sexy just watching them, well before I have purchased the product.<BR/><BR/>It's so very tempting to chase after this sexy feeling, I think. This may be why the hunt for the almighty dollar goes on, to a large extent.<BR/><BR/>I'm too poor to buy the highbrow stuff (well, not really, addicted to nicotene) but I can afford the ones with an appetite for discussion of sex scandals, sex crime and the ubiquitous glamour photograph of a young woman with very few clothes on.

Sometimes I find one on a train and I read the arty reviews like I know what the hell they're going on about, and I pretend to myself that people are looking at me and believing that I am clever and rich enough to actually BUY one of those things...<BR/><BR/>The Ads on American TV would drive me insane. I'm one of those people who records films off the TV rather than watch them when they're broadcasted, just so I can fast forward thru the adverts. I've noticed from my (naturally non-existent) collection of illegally downloaded TV shows that the Ads come before and after the opening credits and something like twice within the show followed by ads and then end credits then more ads...<BR/><BR/>AAARGH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-45235974851475300012007-05-20T17:25:00.000-05:002007-05-20T17:25:00.000-05:00Could you please clip some of those wiener sale co...Could you please clip some of those wiener sale coupons for me?The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-81857145315264885962007-05-20T16:46:00.000-05:002007-05-20T16:46:00.000-05:00I work just about every other weekend so Sunday ha...I work just about every other weekend so Sunday has no significance to me, but I have always had a soft spot for that big fat paper with the color comics, ad circulars from the mens' toy stores, and actual articles about things that might actually be worth reading about. Of course, if you lost the ads you could pare it down by at least 2 pounds of dead tree, but the saturday papers are almost all auto ads.<BR/><BR/>France just elected a right winger who is vowing to rid the country of their 35 hour work week so that they can REV the economy up and turn the french into the same hyper-live-life-like-you-gonna-die-in-five-minutes, take no prisoners, who the hell needs sleep, profit at all costs, vacations be damned lifestyle we Americans have all come to know and love, whether we actually love it or not.<BR/>Strange thing is he vowed in the same breath to take away executive golden parachutes.<BR/><BR/>I still don't understand those people.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-31986727500757614042007-05-20T16:45:00.000-05:002007-05-20T16:45:00.000-05:00Newspapers?

Associated Newspapers (Daily Mail, etc) versus News International (Murdoch, etc). They both now do free daily papers. My predicted outcome is a net result of nobody reading any paper at all.

In the UK, Sunday papers are full of filler nonsense, mostly advice on how to improve your property so as to maximise its sale value, etc. They're generally written by different teams of writers from the daily editions.<BR/><BR/>The Saturday papers have the things you need to know, the background to the stories of the week and, shock horror, actual news. <BR/><BR/>Mind you, I'm a fan of the Financial Times which is a rather good newspaper (particularly international coverage) as well as good on business stuff. It is an exemplar of this approach: there is no Sunday edition at all.<BR/><BR/>Suspect that it's different in your part of the world.
