The Christmas weekend has been my first opportunity to get real sleep since June. Part of it is that I'm building net worth, and part of it is that people depend on me. A lot of people.

I met some colleagues for beers this past Wednesday night. Out of the 4 if us, 2 work for big corps, 2 have mom and pops. I have the smallest company with 3 employees.
Out of the 4 there I make the most money (profit not revenue) and also work the most hours.
Honestly do not want to keep up this insane pace, I figured the business I am in would be slowing by now. I keep arguing with my wife about either downsizing the customers or hiring help (unlikely). I keep pushing back the date for that decision. Wanting to see what the economy is going to do.
I thought this morning. This article is discussing European employees. They are mortified by the prospect of working a 40 hour week.
Therefore to disclose a 48 hour work week, well, that is a horrific prospect. Us crazy Americans think a 48 hour week is a short week. Especially the self employed.
