Does that Glucosamine stuff work?

Usually it's around 50 hrs a week except when there is deadline coming up.

Yes, it does. But it is expensive. Go to either Sam's Club or Costco. You get a huge bottle of it for like $18. It lubricates your joints. The one I get is from Schiff Laboratories. It is the Glucosamine/MSM compound. You take 2 tablets a day, but it takes a couple weeks to get into your system properly before it starts taking effect. Then you have to maintain it and take the 2 tablets a day. Otherwise, you have to start all over again with building it up in your system.

Well I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, I use the side door after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Yeah because it's absolutely impossible for anyone to work over 60 hours a week.

Tuggan · Post by **Tuggan** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:28 pm

of course its not impossible, but nobody consistently works 80 hour weeks. not that has enough time to dick around and be a regular poster here.

If you are working over 60hrs a week you had better be pulling in over 100K a year otherwise you are getting raped.
