Working 8 Hours/Day for 1 Month.

by:Pox

2009/03/13

Starting today, I will work 8 hours a day, every day. Big deal right? Wow I bet you work at Burger King for like 10 hours straight sometimes. Damn that midnight shift gets hard with all the in-your-ass-thumb-around-standing you have to do. Did you know that American workers admit to wasting 2.09 hours of work every day?

So what is it like to really work 8 hours a day? And I mean WORK. Not be AT work, AROUND work, THINKING ABOUT work, TALKING ABOUT work, PLANNING TO DO WORK etc. Some people's job is to go out golfing with clients. Wow heavy duty labor right there. If you want to see some people really busting their asses, watch the show Deadliest Catch. These guy pull 30+ hour shifts with 4 hours of sleep in between. At sea. In freezing weather. Holy shit.

RULES:

- I must work 8 hours per day for one month. Starting today, March 13th and all the way until April 12th. 31 days, 248 hours.

WHAT IS WORK?

- Working on Flash
- Updating my stupid website ( This one. There is no non-stupid one. Sorry)
- Drawing for contests / various projects / practice
- Doing research for any project ( finding info/pictures/ sounds )

WHAT IS NOT WORK?

- Answering emails
- Eating / Bathrooming / Sleeping
- Talking on AIM
- Browsing the net
- Going on a Safari

THE LOOPHOLE

- I can catch up work if I don't do it for whatever reason.

So if I work 2 hours one day, I can work 14 hours the next. The goal is that at the end of the 31 days, I have worked 248 hours. According to the wasted 2 hours/day ( that is probably a conservative estimate since it's based on what the workers admitted ) I'll have worked over 8 weeks. Yay.

So I invite you to try this or to actually count how many hours of work you actually do at whatever job it is you have. Anything that doesn't involve you just standing around talking with coworkers / surfing the net can sort of be considered work. LET ME KNOW OK LOL YOU WON'T, SCREW YOU.

And for the month, I will put a little counter at the top of my webpage, which I shall update...sometimes. So Watch that. Yeah. You won't. Who cares. We are alone in the universe.
