I know I only put in about 20 hours of work into a 40 hour work week...

Actually it was... Typically you only worked for your lord around 3 days a week, the rest of the time was yours to toil your own fields, and even then there was a lot of down time. The church mandated more time off than modern companies give...

Is this satire or sincere idiocy? I can't tell anymore.

I remember bush the elder... He had no problem golfing during the first Gulf war.

"you can find them where you can find them"

I held a job for 9 years that expected that of me for at least half of that time, and I was miserable. Towards the end of my time there, I was getting migraines at least once a week. After I quit, no more migraines, at least for a year maybe more. Now I've found a job that doesn't expect me to submit to arbitrary authority. In fact now when I butt heads with people over stupid rules, management backs me up. I've even been promoted to work closer with the people who I butt heads with because it improves our product in the long run. Point being, we all have our very particular sets of skills, and if an employer doesn't want to make use of them, fuck them and find another.

No. The key is the questioning. If the answer is "don't question it" or "I don't know" or "we've always done it that way" it's not worthy of respect. Not following rules we don't like does not require asking any questions, and also can be done just as well when we already know the answers.

Oh yeah I have a KitchenAid mixer that was my grandmother's, not sure how old it is exactly, but it's at least 25 if not 30...
