Serving 27 million Texans spread across 254 counties and two time zones isn't a job for those who require a lot of sleep.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.
I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.
I think the time has come when the American people understand that federal employees need to work an 8-hour day just like everybody else.
Texas created more jobs in 2008 than the rest of the states - combined.
I don't think anyone in that Roc Nation office gets eight hours of sleep; I highly doubt it. They're constantly working, and they're on top of everything, and they have a department for everything.
It is not the hours we put in on the job, it is what we put into the hours that counts.
I do my best stuff midmorning and superlate at night, from 1 to 5 in the morning. Some people don't need sleep. I actually do need sleep. I just sleep all the time. I'll catch naps in the afternoon, or I'll take a 20-minute snooze in the office - just all the time. Our business is 24 hours. Our guys in Europe come online at midnight.
There's something odd about working 24/7, being consumed with everything that's happening in Iraq, and then coming back to the country that ordered you over there only to realize that a lot of Americans are not really paying attention.
People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.
I'm so used to changing time zones that I can sleep at any time. I'm rarely ever tossing and turning - if I am, it's really a big deal.
