I said I'd go sailin' and I should have. It was a wasted day at work.
Damned employees have screwed up. If'n ya ever go inta business, rely
only on yourself, dont hire anybody and you'll be happier.

With Christmas falling on a Sunday why was today not a paid time off
holiday for them?


Most decent employers give all or most of their employees off the day
after Christmas if the holiday falls on a Sunday. Retail is different,
but retail isn't really decent employment.

Back in the dark ages, when I worked for The AP, we got triple time if
we worked a legal holiday. I signed up for as many as I could.


Retail isn't decent employment? Imagine if all of the welfare recipients
had a job at a retail store, like West Marine.

Decent employment pays wages sufficient enough to completely support a
person or perhaps half of a family, along with health care insurance, a
decent pension plan, and other benefits.


Want decent employment? Get a decent education or learn a decent trade.

The world owes no one a decent living. You have to want it, work for it and
earn it.
