Grandsiozzie: I suppose that is closer to the truth yeap...

Roh, here in my country most work effectively say 2 or 3 hours a day.
If they have a desk job that is. How is it in America, same lazyness there?
just generally speaking I mean.
Not as much as there used to be. Before I went to college, I worked for a giant electronics firm. That was in the 1970's. Everywhere throughout that company unit managers and mid-managers could be seen kicked back, feet up, chatting away the afternoon on the phone, taking 3 hour lunches, etc...We used the term "deadwood". I believe those days are mostly over. Companies got tired of paying people good salaries to basically do nothing.

Personally, I've never had to look busy. I had a desk job, so to speak, worked more than 8 hours most days from wherever I was. And I am not lazy, though I am retired, I have plenty to keep me busy from here, just generally speaking I mean.. laugh

Also not lazy, the guy across the road, raiseing chickens and goats, usually spending 8 hour days working the phone and internet on certified HVAC projects world wide.. smile

Note I did not call americans lazy, I called norwegians lazy and expected it to be far better ova there and so it seems.
Me I never even saw a desk :)
Had I been not so lazy at school when I was at the crutziale age of 16 I would had had one and my life wud had turned out better too, but we'll take the cards handed us by now. drinking
