Pretty sad how it's 8h work and ~8h sleep while even when you return from the job (I GUESS) you're tired and you prepare for tomorrow and same routine. I always thought it's more to life. I don't see that as control. I see that as me being controlled. Although, I don't deny the importance of it for sure.
For me the problem isn't really time. Yes, a lot of time is spent on work. But it's also focus. If I could work an 8h day, then come home and not think about work for a second, perfect. But it gets to a point where I rarely don't think about work, because there is so much going on at work that it consumes you, and you're always trying to think ahead to next week or whatever and trying to make sure certain things don't get neglected.

I hear the same thing from my dad. Sometimes she even works from home and she also works extra hours there. Pretty crazy, but yeah, I totally get you.

are you a good teacher?
There's no way he's gonna say no.

The most negative answer is gonna be 'I'm working to get better'.

Regarding Stefan Löfven:

I like him being an 'old-school' Socialdemocrat. Union-man with a strong labour pedigree, not too Academic in his presence and reasoning. I think he did well by focussing on simple yet significant issues during the Election last year.

And by holding a new election when the Financing act fell, was a great move since the centre-right didn't want a new election.

But I think the Elite in Sweden is making a huge mistake by ignoring those who vote for Sverigedemokraterna. Sverigedemokraterna's view on humans is disgusting, but they speak for a marginalised group who feel uneasy (scared) by immigration and EU. I'm quite confident the support of Sverigedemokraterna will only increase in the coming years if they keep on being marginalised.

I am not here to tell you the correct answer, but to teach you how to find it yourself.

No worries :p

I used to study Economics. Dropped it 'cause I wanted to teach. So now I'm getting my degree in Education while being a substitute teacher in Social Science and working with handicapped people as a second job.
So you dropped out and decided to become Socialdemokrat. What happened, Maddy?

@Dule90, you up for coffee?

I have some terrible Nescafe here. It's the thought that counts. Right, @swag?
:agree: Because of the only thing you drink is some rarified bean clipped from a special mountain region of Guatemala and roasted to only City+ and brewed from a Hario V60 dripper -- you don't love coffee. You love just some mutant sliver of its possibilities.

Wine is perfect for mornings instead of coffee... :shifty:
Don't be such a Sitzpinkler.

That's it. Vancouver real estate prices have been off the charts for years. Rich HK'ers and Japanese. And then rich white men from Alberta retiring. It's crazy. My sister owns a high end custom millwork business. Mostly works on multi-million dollar homes around the city.
And don't forget all the Chinese cashing out before the tanks roll in again.

That's what technology does. When people have laptops, smartphones etc. they are never really out of reach.. sometimes it sucks ass.
Yup. I heard that. You can let it, though, but some expect that.

Bolivia is also going to hell since the big majority of our income comes from selling petroleum gases, and the price just hit the floor. The government didn't invest properly all the good money we were making when the price was high. We should've diversified our production :sergio: instead, they threw that money at the ignorant and poor to keep them happy and get their votes.
Just keep that Bolivian coffee coming. :coffee:

I'm sorry, Lapa. But it is. Finland is one of the richest countries in the World per capita and one of the most equal countries in the World. Finnish people are compared to both EU and especially the rest of the World rich.

And dem bitches drink more coffee per capita than anybody else in the known universe, and that's cool by me.
