I'm amazed at the number of responses. I guess work/life balance is a pretty key issue to all of us. Maybe I should start another thread about how people achieve that balance.

Apparently us Brits work the longest hours in Europe, and I think I'm right in say you guys in the States work even harder that us. I know from for sure you have far less paid holiday than we get and work very long hours.

It's great to hear so many people are bucking the trend and saying no to long hour and yes to more 'me' time.
