I dont work 50+ hours because I have realized there is more to life
than the "in vogue" American attitude of not having a life outside of
my work. I enjoy my work but it is to be a small part of my life. I dont
want to end my life having been in front of a computer documenting
software for the majority of it. I could care less if my attitude is the
current fashion!
