Efficiently Off Work

As I wait for the inevitable rush to classes and the scramble to get work done afterward, it seems most annoying that people restrict themselves to working on a 0900-1630 schedule. Such a restriction on the end of the working day makes it very difficult to contact someone at work after the immobile parts of your own schedule are accomplished.

Despite that inefficiency, one must learn to bear in mind the inevitable problems that arise. People are not automatons and cannot work for too long before they loose the essential trait of creativity or spoil their personal lives (the motive for working in the first place). Exhaustion takes a great toll on efficiency even in non-physical tasks. Thus in that mindset, I must wait a few more days to get a person on the phone where working hours extended by a simple hour would solve my problem.

In this problem, keeping in mind the larger social limits of work brings cold comfort to my position but at least curiosity is satiated.
