Nine to Five?
This MSNBC article describes how the 40 hour work week has changed, and that 9 to 5 is no longer a reality. "How technology, productivity and family change the way we work" is the byline.
Question: Forget technology, fast-pacing culture, families, and economy. Didn't 9 to 5 end with the invention of the lunch hour? I mean, 9 to 5 is 8 hours a day. That's 40 hours a week. But where's the beef (lunch)? Every job I've worked at has either been 8 to 5, 9 to 6, or "come whenever the hell you feel like it."
On a related note, according to Moffitt's new mousepads, online wizardry can circumvent the whole article-finding phase of the research process, with REFWORKS! (in case you think having someone else write the paper for you is unsporting) Also, the mousepads are round (meh) and red (MEH??). Bright red. Ugly red. Stanfurd red.
