Reading the news is work. Thinking about my research or what I'm going to do in class tomorrow is work. I spend a lot of time doing that stuff. But really, most of my work is fun. If I only counted the unfun stuff--meetings ,grading papers, filling out forms, updating blackboard, and maybe stressing, I'd probably average about 15 hours of work a week.

I work for myself; hence I'm always on vacation. There is no 'work'; there is only 'ownership', which brings into consideration a divergent set of issues that gave Marx headaches and made Schumpeter go "hmmm....."

Gary Becker, who made his spurs on stuff like that backward-bending supply curve for labor upthread, was good with the kind of semantics-that-have practical-consequences-for-thinking-about-economics issues that your reflections illustrate.

it's not living in a world of absolutes you scumbag, it's knowing the odds of it working are low, and you only get those hours after years of doing 80 hours a week to gett it up and running. god

my dad told me when i was little, "if they're paying, i'm staying."
good philosophy.
don't be afraid to actually work to be successful.

at what point are you supposed to actually enjoy... life?

by **The Dude** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 21:47:52

i'm not defensive, but you're saying stuff like we wouldn't do that if it was something we could all do. staring any kind of business takes a long time to get to the point where you just have 9 hour days and don't bring bills and payroll and all that stuff home with you, not that that ever stops

You find a way to make money doing something you like.

I was going straight through an intersection this afternoon. A person was making a left in front of me, but there was a break in oncoming traffic so I slowed a little (didn't have to stop) rather than go around on the shoulder. The person behind me attempted to go around me on the shoulder and continued trying to pass me on my right through the busy intersection. It was one of the more brazen (and stupid) driving moves I've seen in a while. They did not succeed.

I didn't say it was an option for you I said it was an option for me.

this might have been covered in the past but if you walk into a public bathroom and all the urinals are all taken but one do you take it or head for the open stall?

by **meatball** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 00:30:44

stall

there used to be an online quiz related to this. I'll see if i can find it.

edit: try this

by **The Nightman Cometh** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 00:34:30

I go straight for the stall regardless. I enjoy the space the handicap stalls afford.

Stalls = your normal home bathroom toilet right? WTF is up with urinals anyway? I'm no homophobe but I don't like em. Especially with no dividers.
