+1 from "the rest of the us". The people that wear their long work week on their sleeve as a badge of honor are, at best, very naive, and at worst, self-destructive.
In reference to the movie "Election", don't be a Tracy Flick in the workplace.
I want to register a complaint. Everyone talks about wanting ground-breaking research and innovation, but in my own personal experience I see little-to-no support for it.
It reminds of the scene from the film Election, where a character intones, after you've seen him ski down a double-black diamond slope and crash, "Last winter when I broke my leg, I was so mad at God."
We're spending money to squeeze the last drops of gold out of the research done in the 60's and 70's, while research starves, and then complaining that there's nothing new. I don't see how we can expect anything different.
