Yes that one. I was always reffering to per hour. Never arguing combined hour. Thank you. Always nice to talk to somebody that are nice

I remembered the thread because I once had an office manager who was Norwegian by birth. She was amazingly efficient. By the time I got in the office she had three lists; what she had taken care of, what she would take care of and what I needed to intercede in. She often left for lunch and didn't come back. I tried to find something to be mad about but her work was always up-to-date or ahead. There were other people to answer the phone. She made a hard job look easy.

Focus and efficiency seem to be Scandinavian traits. I just don't understand their penchant for government.

I also don't understand the French standing in the report. The ones I have met just haven't struck me as particularly productive. It may be that their economy has eliminated all but the high productivity jobs.

"I was always reffering to per hour."

So, Euroweenies have been taught to believe that someone who runs a one-hundred yard dash in 10 seconds once in a whole day are more productive (per hour!) than the American who runs an entire marathon (at a "slower pace"!) in 3 hours during the same day.

So THIS must be how Euroweenies get duped into living in tiny, cold, old, expensive houses while their government takes nearly all their money......
