QUOTE
“Socrates said that manual laborers make bad friends and bad citizens because they have no time to fulfill the responsibilities of friendship and citizenship. He was right. Because of work, no matter what we do we keep looking at our watches. The only thing “free” about so-called free time is that it doesn’t cost the boss anything. Free time is mostly devoted to getting ready for work, going to work, returning from work, and recovering from work.“

From the very long winded article: The Abolition of Work. It was a job to read it, but this bit did give me jolt because it’s pretty much dead on. Now what can we do about it? (via guy)

I’m not sure. I haven’t been in a situation like that for at least 5 years. It was terrible. There is a better way. I’m just not sure what the answer is. I do know that there are smart people working on this problem. My friend Halley is one of them.

Watch a video about this stuff.
