Working on the weekend...holidays...during surgery....

Commercial news interests such as CNN, Time, etc. have been running a series of propaganda pieces on how the typical worker bee (non-managerial drones like you and me) need to prepare to assimilate more of work into our lives. These articles are all about how work has changed as far as the number of hours, etc. That eventually, we will basically all be on call 24x7, that this is a good thing (for the business), and that anyone resisting will be processed into food for the 'good' worker-citizens who are totally dedicated.

To which I say to the so-called experts..."No shit, Sherlock? You figured that out by yourself, or did the chimpanzee fling poo in your mouth, causing you to choke out this insight?" And, by the way, how does one become an "expert" on determining these sorts of things about work? Do you take an exam? Or a class? Do you have to actually get a job to gain insights, perhaps pumicing your mom's bunions? Then you just find the nearest news media outlet and spout drivel like this?

Yes, we are working more and being paid less in order to enrich our 'superiors' above us...that is the American way. Capitalism at its finest...nothing wrong with that. Really. There are some people of very questionable intelligence for whom work is a life-substitute. They are readily identifiable because they work long hours, put work before all else, take calls in the middle of (wink wink), require detailed project plans before they will take their kids to preschool...any of this sounding familiar?

My dream nowadays is to work 23 hours a day until I am past my prime, at which time, I hope to become food for future generations.

Only one problem...I am not fat-free, but I am lactose tolerant.

Enjoy your meal!!
