I think it was Richard Branson who said that he allows his employees to take time off work whenever they want. The only catch is that they must ensure they get their work done on time. Of course you'd have to have big balls of steel to take any real time off because you'd have to be confident you would be up to date with your work. Which is difficult when you have any time off work. But regardless that is probably as close as you can get to being able to take time off of life at will. Just work at Virgin.

Death does raise a nice point though. What's the point of life if all you do is spend most the time at work. The worst thing is that if you spend 40 hours a week (average time) at work, you still have more than three times that at home. But if you do 40 hours a week you feel like you're whole week is wasted at work. But of course of the 128 hours you have outside of work, you must factor in travel time. Let's say travel time is 30mins (1 hour a day both ways). That leaves you with 123 hours of free time, assuming you work five days a week.

But then you need sleep, which is recommended at seven hours. That leaves you with 74 hours of free time to do something. That is 'almost' double the amount of time you work but then there is the double-edged sword. Weekends! Most of that time is made up of the weekend. That means that during the five day working week, you spend 40 hours at work, but only have 26 hours of free time to do something you want.

So what is the point of life?

I missed that reference Vork. I think at the back of my head I always assumed Deathstalker was Yu-Gi-Oh card.
