I agree Mel, Gaon works too many hours..



But, his story is not unusual for new immigrants.

One of my previous business acquaintances runs a fleet of trucks.  He offloads very little work to others, meaning the guy works like 14 hour days, six and even seven days/week.



Him and his wife had children a few years back, and speaking to him personally I could sense some remorse that he can't be as much a part of their upbringing as he'd like to be.  It's a family business, so he does have commitments to running the business, but a line must be drawn...  



When your kids are growing up fast, and you can never be around, it's time to sit back and possibly rethink a life of doing nothing but chasing after the all-mighty dollar from dawn to dusk.



Europe still somewhat encourages work/life balance, but Canada and especially the US still view running yourself ragged into the ground working as a positive thing.  It's not always positive.

It's Gaon's choice to work those hours.

My parents were the same when they fled the Ukraine. Hell, I was born in Canada and I chose an industry where 84 hours a week is the norm. I would not have changed that.

Maybe try reading, you fucking faggot, instead of spending all your time jacking off to Mel...



He's back to around 40 hours/week now.

Nobody was talking to you besides yourself were they Mel. Just because you live on forums trying to get guys to plug your leaky ass doesn"t mean every guy on forumz is a desperate faggot like your sorry self.

I'm not Mel, but you seem triggered.  Why are you so triggered?

Another possible cure would be to give Martini the admin panel he was promised here.

See? The idea alone put a smile on your face, just imagine what a shiny new admin panel in the hands of the Mighty Martini would do for your mood. ac_biggrin

Too bad you didn't get Friday off instead, you would have had a three day weekend.
