I'm with Sue on this one. Familiarity only breeds contempt if you're
contemptible to begin with.

Some days I may work 5 or 6 hours (I'm here 8 hours, but you can't
always call it working). Other days I work all day, straight through
lunch, and take it home to finish (and no, I'm not catching up from
those 5 hour days... that's just how it comes sometimes). It all evens out in the end.
