Some people are allergic to hard work

I just read a blog in which a professor blasted another professor.

The critized "colleague", a high-profile economist named Klas Eklund, had stated that during a phase of his life he worked 90 hours per week.

The critical professor was outraged and claimed that a 90 hour work-week is impossible and wildly exaggerated, even borderline to a pathological lie. He argued that with such a work pace no one could reasonably have time over for anything else.

Well, who ever said that working extremely hard means that you lead a vacation lifestyle?

Moreover, anyone who ever lived in this world and learned elementary school mathematics knows that a day comprises 24 hours; meaning that there are 168 hours in a week. A first-grader can work out that 168 minus 90 equals 78 hours. This begs the question: if you are a professor and can't even handle children's maths, where does that leave your students? What travesty of a course do they have to endure to even get close to reasonable and fair grades?

Now, the mad professor was angry because in his mind, and life apparently, nearly 80 hours of leisure time per week is not enough free time, thus anyone who claims to have a strict work ethic is a "liar".We are talking 11(!!!)  hours per day to read a book, hang out with friends or spend quality time with the family. According to this professor it is way too little.

In other words, hard workers are "liars" according to this guy. In fact, anyone who is different from this professor is apparently - according to him at least - not to be trusted.The way he sees things is, in his mind, natural law. God's law if you will.

And all this rage because someone works hard? What does that say about what kind of value for money his employer gets? And what does that say about the mad professor personally? 

Oohh.. that's the real problem, isn't it?
