Concerned about Yoshi-P

Though your thoughts are nice I think you're overreacting, a lot. I've had jobs where I have worked days without a wink of sleep. Doctors and Nurses do it all the time and I think life and death is more stressful than corporate position. My body literally runs on caffeine and cigarettes plus the occasional sandwich or soup. It is true that Japanese work ethics are vastly different from most Americans and Europeans but it also comes down to the professional nature of the person in question.

I have seen Starbucks employees work a month straight open to close every day without a day off. I have also seen them work every other day for 5 hours and smoking pot on their lunch breaks. Now, I don't work for Starbucks I just go there a lot and the point is that regardless of position or stature people work differently on an individual basis.

I'm sure he is just fine, a little stressed and tired probably but you can maintain that for years.

I think the point was more, that you CAN, but it's not 100% healthy.
