    Apparrently, I am a bum. How about you?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18144320

    Even taking into account studying/labs/research/whatnot and teaching my first course (and just to save all of you any trouble....I quote my oldest brother and sibling....who received his LL.M.from here....who posted this on my facebook...."They let just anyone teach there now. haha")

    I tell you, it's hard out there for Blue Train in his family. haha

    I won't even bring up what my fiancee thinks of my hours these last two terms in comparison to her. haha


    You work 687 hours less than the annual average for United Kingdom.
    This is 758 hours less than the OECD average.

    I was surprised that the US was so low in the hours worked column. I'm the slacker in our office and I was still coming in at around South Korea numbers for total hours.

    I'm making the Koreans and everyone else ( unfortunately) look like a bunch of slackers.

    1055 more hours than the annual USA and 1032 more than the OECD averages.
