mkmcconn, I may be misinterpreting what your meaning for this is, or the context, but I think I understand ^_^. Are you saying that it is better to say to a 'hard worker' at your work or so on, to just say 'thank you for your time' rather than 'what did you do with your time?' because by saying the former, you are saying that either way if you worked hard or not, you still wasted your time here, instead of being off somewhere else? Because time is very valuable... at least I think that's what this all means ^_^ it's my own interpretation at least of what it all means :) later!
