I don't want our friends from outside the US to get the wrong impression... the average worker in the States does NOT get 3-4 weeks off in addition to holidays. The Europeans do. (well, most of them get more, but you get the picture) The average US worker is lucky to get 2 weeks a year and some holidays. And now, back to your regular ClutchCity.net BBS programming. Yao Ming's offseason schedule s**ks. But I've said that before and now I'm trying to be optimistic. It's really not that horrible. It's not brutal. It's not inhuman. It's not... oh, hell. It s**ks. But he looks happy.
