Slim,

What are you talking about?  No way would I work the schedule of my
son's kindergarden teacher.  She is at the school everyday no later
than 7am and is available until between 5 and 5:30 everyday.  I
guarantee you she puts in more hours per YEAR than most of us 9-5ers
ever thought about.

Hank
