Today is my first day back at work (hello, syllabus, hand-outs and new students!), so how fitting that I should come across this chart that breaks down the average work hours for men and women around the globe. Are you a workaholic, friends? What do you do? What’s your favorite job you’ve ever had?

I work at a scrapbook store and I love it so much! We get to design cards and scrapbook pages when we have time 🙂 And it's such a relaxing workplace. When at work, it really matters if the people are nice and atmosphere around you is stress free. It makes such a big difference to enjoying work!

Just M says
I work A LOT. I get up at 5:30am every morning and commute into the city. I don't leave my office until atleast 6:00pm every night and then I spend an hour or so in traffic. I am also going to school for my Masters and I try to maintain some sort of social life. I'm a go-aholic as my friends say. I am always going going going.
April says
