What?  What's that real life?  No, no, you see I'm trying to focus on actually getting a novel done.  No I have the whole idea.  Start to finish.

What's that?  What do you mean I have to work all week?  Sixty hours?  Can I just do 40?  No?  But...

And sixty hours next week?  But why?

Oh... so my boss can buy Uruguay.

Great...

(Sorry, all joke aside, it seems July is Amazon Prime month and last week AND this week I'm getting hit by 60 hour-don't-bother-asking-for-time-off work days.  And according to other people I work with, I'll be looking forward to another week like it the week after next.)

(Sigh...)

(Edit: I'm pretty sure Bezos isn't buying Uruguay.  Maybe Luxembourg.  Denmark.  You know, one of those quaint countries for summering in.  Like Canada.)

As a prime member my self, I can understand your pain. Do you awnser phones? I have had Manny a conversation with Amazon phone support about missing packages or just terrible delivery. Anyways keep it up, your work is worth the wait.

At least you're creating value and providing a service. Could work at a scam call center where they don't create any value, but just reallocate it from someone to another without any positive contribution to humanity. Hope it resolves well.

I bequeath to you a single dollar

@Colin, I don't really think that the measure of a person should be "creating value" especially considering that the return an employee receives is a pittance compared to the "value" they "create."
