On Behalf of Slowness
Yeah, this is where I want to be headed.
In the last few decades, Europeans have made the decision to work fewer hours and lead more balanced lives. Americans haven't. According to the International Labor Organization, we now work about nine weeks more a year (counting longer workdays and shorter paid vacations) than Western Europeans.
At least I get paid overtime where I work, but do I really want to trade parts of my life for money? I would rather be doing something I enjoy.
