Phil, don't you take a lunch break, if you do, what's the big deal. Take the darn thing at the 6 or 7 hour mark from when you started your day, log it and be on your way. This time I don't see the courts overturning the rule, I could be wrong, but I have a 50/50 chance of being right.

Was trying to figure out the 70 hours 5 days. I guess he logged off duty as on duty to get those numbers. I like the cigarette banner you have, for me it's been something like 20 years since I quit. Just think, save that money in a separate bank account for a year and what a vacation you and...
