   You say had. Would you care to elaborate why the place where you worked, stopped the 4 day work week?

   I tried it with my company. Your employees work four days at ten hours per day and then they have a three day weekend. Here are some of the reasons why we scrapped it.

   First you need to hire more employees. Most companies are based on an eight hour day, five days per week, while those who run twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week can not evenly divide twenty-four hours by ten. So, you wind up with shifts that don’t work and you have to have stop gap people to fill in. Second, people that work the ten hours and have a three day weekend come back tired and almost needing retraining. I don’t know why they are more tired than when they worked eight hours per day. Didn’t make sense. Ten hours is a long day and work production suffered. Third, breaks, they needed more and they spent more time on those breaks. Fourth, when they called in “sick”, no one wanted to work overtime to fill their position. I mean, another four hours or more of work, after ten hours shift. Fifth, accidents increased. People weren’t as alert near the end of their shift or the second day on, during a four day week. People didn’t have the energy to work well on the second, third, and fourth day.

   I think that you get the picture. I put everyone back to work on the standard eight hour day and won’t go back to a ten hour day.

   Thank you for admitting that they don’t exist.

   I was behind a car that kept allowing cars to pull out in front of it. I knew the guy. By chance we met at the theater to watch a sold out movie and my wife and I was in front of his wife and him. I decided that since he like to make people late, by allowing cars to get in front of him, I would allow people to do the same at the theater. When we finally got our tickets, it was completely sold out and he had to wait for the next showing. Karma is so great.

   I suggest that you purchase a Webster Dictionary that was published before 1990 and stop checking people, by using Wikipedia.

   Teachers do not send notes home with parents. That is why the school has an email address of parents. I don’t know any teachers that send notes home with parents. At least none of my children’s teachers.

   I was one of the few who it didn’t bother. The troop handler sent me in to check if it was ready and after 5 minutes of me looking for what he alluded to, he came in without a mask and puke. It was funny, but the five miles I had to run back to the barricks wasn’t.

   Kids that tattle on others get madder, when tattled on, than those lik3e Hammie. We know that it’s a fact of life that we are going to get tattled on.

   My father-in-law just turned 96. He was a farm boy, who became a doctor. He never used suntan lotion growing up. No one that I knew used sun tan lotion, except those who wanted what was called a deep tan. Was there skin cancer, yes, but very few cases in the entire state and country. Now, people use suntan lotion and there is a lot of skin cancer. That begs the question: Is the skin cancer caused by the sunlight getting stronger or the sun tan lotion.
