HR Lady M

Rantings and ravings of an HR professional... Depending on my mood, the day, the wind... I may rant about work or life. If you follow my blog, you may acquire some of my great personal knowledge about recruiting, interviewing, how to land a job or search for the right job, or how to find the right hire... but there will be some venting. What fun is life if you can't laugh at it and have a little fun? Make lemonade with your lemons. Just remember to add a little sugar to sweeten it up!

I miss 8 hour work days

In the world we live in where layoffs trickle down more and more work to less and less employees, 8 hour work days are just a luxury many of us don't ever get to enjoy. I routinely have 20 hours worth of work that I need to get done in an 8 hour day, and it just doesn't work. My lunch hours are a distant memory, breaks... what are those? In fact, it's nearly 10pm and I am just taking a brief break to vent here while a file downloads so that I can get a bit more work done before I get to bed and wake up to start all over again starting around 7am. 7am to 10pm... not your average work day, but it is just a day in the life for me.
