While I understand the need for change with the moderization of our work environment, some things don't. We should never be afraid to take a well meaning break.<br /><br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-25455763558495907852013-09-05T20:56:45.714-07:002013-09-05T20:56:45.714-07:00Kathy, yes, for some, Labor Day is another day, bu...Kathy, yes, for some, Labor Day is another day, but I can honestly say, I felt like it was the unofficial end of summer. I took a walk around Castaic Lake and it looked like a "last summer hoopla" for some. Now the pumpkin patches are starting to pop up.<br /><br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-11181004366189634092013-09-05T20:55:05.911-07:002013-09-05T20:55:05.911-07:00DH and I BBQ'd up a feast too - TriTip, Rib Ey...DH and I BBQ'd up a feast too - TriTip, Rib Eye, salad, garlic bread, japenino poppers, wine...sigh... then we watched a movie - Oblivion. I'm not much of a Tom Cruise fan, but I liked the movie. Both the DH and I like Sci-Fi.<br /><br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-50886021074957896232013-09-05T20:53:12.674-07:002013-09-05T20:53:12.674-07:00Ella,

Although even with Unions we are sadly swinging back to the groups of have and havenots. Some jobs are just as rough or bad, even if we are "supposed" to get breaks, there never is the time for it, or our jobs are on the line.

We received time and a half pay for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Otherwise a holdiay was just another day of work. We worked 8 hour shifts the breaks being if we weren't busy we could run outside and grab a smoke or sit down for a few minutes. Funny sometimes getting away to run to the bathroom was hard if you were working by yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-72984016963924139502013-09-03T10:13:00.542-07:002013-09-03T10:13:00.542-07:00Despite all the problems, we are so blessed in Ame...Despite all the problems, we are so blessed in America with available jobs. <br /><br />DH and I celebrated with the usual: barbeque and lots of laying around while we caught up on reading and movie watching (Ulysses with Kirk Douglas - cool movie.)<br /><br />Great excerpt, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662077274942155406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634682259702186282.post-54400235702971119182013-09-03T07:25:22.804-07:002013-09-03T07:25:22.804-07:00I think people forget the vital roll labor unions ...I think people forget the vital roll labor unions have played in this country.
