It’s annoying. Every time I apply for a part time job, I still get stuck getting stiffed with 40 hours and sometimes more because we are “sHoRt StAfEd”. It’s getting in the way of my hobbies. 😭 I want to work out, play video games, smoke my weed, and learn how to whittle. Leave me alone.

If someone is really interested, here is a great article on the history of how we got to a 40 hour work week.
Teaser: It used to be a 70 hour work week! Then 60... and in 1933, the Senate passed, a bill to reduce the standard workweek to only 30 hours, which obviously didn't make it...
@Viper trucking is still a 70 hour work week. Electronic log books have limited it to that, no idea exactly how many hours it was before as I was scared to keep track
