    That's because we take our 30 min. breaks within our 8. We obey the HOODS laws.

    Not only is it because we're (mostly) paid by the hour (milkin' that clock!) but since we're also home nightly (mostly) we're out until all hours, livin' the life of kings! Who the hell has time for sleep with that kind of social schedule??!?
