work day

Ever notice how it seems like the work day is progressively getting longer over the years? I remember watching 9 to 5 with Dolly Parton and thinking how long 9 to 5 is. Well I know a lot of people who work 8 to 5, 7:30-6, 7 am to 7 pm. What happened to the work day, the rules? God, I'd give anything to work 9-2 and still survive okay. I want to be able to get to the bank before it closes, the library, not rush through lunch, watch Dawson's Creek in the morning. Yes, I want to be spoiled and selfish.
