Surviving the Workday

Letters  Ms. Theologian gives advice about rude coworkers.

News  David Byrne (yes, that David Byrne) finds out that free wireless at Denver’s airport comes with a price. Workers accuse their Gulf Coast employer of slavery. Certainly, it’s indentured servitude. A cop kills two bicyclists and blames day light savings time and his extreme shifts. We have more sympathy than we should. The state of California prepares to lay off 10,000 teachers because we can’t manage a budget in California and simply prefer to layoff and rehire. That reminds me of some of my favorite corporations.

Notes  It was the week following daylight savings time. Some of us had a lot of trouble functioning (other than the cop above). Juana Rivas had to work, and she starts her day around 2:30 a.m. scavenging in dumpsters for recyclables. And Vilma Serralta appears to have worked six days a week 14 hours a day as maid/servant/nanny for a really awful San Mateo family who she is now suing.

Religion  We made some notes from a local church’s marketing brochure and respond to some questions about not attending church.
