also, although the academic lifestyle is very flexible, i would say that this is the first semester since i started teaching 5 years ago that i haven't worked 6-12 hours every weekday plus 4-8 hours each weekend day, averaging 60 hours/week. and i'm about to put my head down and work back into that schedule. yes, i'm only in class 5 hours a week, but that has almost nothing to do with how much work and stress i have, statistically speaking.

I think you do a lot more class prep than I do...and certainly I think most tenured academics work much less than 60 hours/week.
