Greetings, Quotaholics,

I’ve always said that I work to live, I don’t live to work. If I were suddenly wealthy, I could walk away from work and never look back.

It seems like when I first started working, back in the 70’s, about the only concern that employers had was that you showed up on time and worked a full 8 hours. Once you were done, you were on your own time. You didn’t have to answer to your employer for your actions unless you weren’t able to make it back for the next work day.

But over the years employers have been able to gain more and more control over your time. They are now able to legally monitor you email, internet usage, and phone calls while you are on the job. They are able to use drug tests to monitor what you do on your free time. Many have banned the use of tobacco by their employees, not just at work but all the time.

Of course many of us spend a great deal of our off time on the internet. With sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. many people have most of their life uploaded to the internet.

But what happens if you say something about your boss in a private MySpace area? Does your boss have a right to punish you for that?

That’s exactly what a federal court in New Jersey will soon determine. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, employees of Houston’s restaurant in Hackensack, New Jersey set up a private, invitation only group in MySpace. They emailed invitations to co-workers, who then had to log in using a personal email address and a password.

On the forum, bartender Brian Pietrylo and waitress Doreen Marino, who was his girlfriend, made fun of Houston’s decor and patrons, and made sexual jokes. They also made negative comments about their supervisors.

According to the article, “The supervisors were tipped off to the forum by Karen St. Jean, a restaurant hostess, who logged into her account at an after-hours gathering with a Houston’s manager to show him the site. They all had a laugh, Ms. St. Jean said in a court deposition, and she didn’t think any more about it.”

“But later, another supervisor called Ms. St. Jean into his office and asked her for her email and password to the forum. The login information was passed up the supervisory chain, where restaurant managers viewed the comments.”

“The following week, Mr. Pietrylo and Ms. Marino were fired. Houston’s managers have said in court filings that the pair’s online posts violated policies set out in an employee handbook, which include professionalism and a positive attitude”

“In their lawsuit, Ms. Marino and Mr. Pietrylo claim that their managers illegally accessed their online communications in violation of federal wiretapping statutes and that the managers also violated their privacy under New Jersey law.”

“Labor and legal experts say the outcome of many employee privacy cases hinges on workers’ expectations of their privacy rights — particularly whether they have been given notice that they are subject to monitoring. In the Houston’s case, the workers had no idea their online activities outside of work could be monitored, says their attorney, Fred J. Pisani. A trial is set for June 9.”

I find it interesting that, according to that last paragraph, your employer could tell you that you are subject to monitoring and you would have a hard time winning a case involving privacy. The implication here is that an employer can take away your right to privacy at will.

Are you concerned about this? Do you think it’s fair? Do you have anything online that you wouldn’t want your boss to see? Do you feel that you should have a right to post a private message about your work without fear of reprisal? Do you ever worry about posting comments to RGQ or other online ezines or blogs? Do you think the courts have given employers too much power over their employees?

Fearfully,

Biology Lesson
[Thanks Bonnie]

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: “Now, boys, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”

“Yes, sir,” the boys said.

“Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”

A little fellow shouted, “‘Cause yer feet ain’t empty.”

Imp-Revised News


E-Mail the Imp

Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island or in a cave a thousand miles from nowhere, you’ve heard news accounts or read articles about the growing problem of people growing. Growing too fat that is. Even if you don’t read or listen to electronic media you can’t help but observe that the people around you are a bit corpulent.

People are also getting bigger in general. Even the average, most fit individuals are physically larger than their counterparts were a hundred years ago. Besides being a health problem, being overweight causes problems most people don’t generally think about. I wrote about Germans using trucks and cranes to move very obese patients that won’t fit in a regular ambulance, or causes damage to them due to the strain on their suspension system. There’s also a problem with crematoriums. The doors to the chambers on older facilities can’t handle the larger caskets of the very obese deceased, and require retrofit or replacement.

Seats in sports stadiums are designed based on human sizes codified 75 – 100 years ago. When these stadiums are upgraded or replaced with new facilities, seats and seating layouts have to be designed to accommodate fans that are larger in girth and taller also. Getting 100,000 seats of the newer size in the same square footage as the old stadium is an architectural dilemma, and requires extreme ingenuity to accomplish.

United Airlines is working with seats designed for a slimmer clientele and has come up with a solution. Charge the fat asses for two seats. The chubbiest passengers pay more but have the butt room if not the leg room for comfort, and passengers next to them aren’t cramped by cellulite sprawl. There’s a video that explains it very well.

I can see the practice spreading to busses, such as Greyhound. Just like those boxes they used to have to measure baggage that qualified for overhead storage, bus companies would have a “Butt Box” you sat in before boarding. Don’t fit? Buy another ticket.

Cabs are another area where overweight passengers should have to pay extra. Even a single passenger can cause problems. Excess weight requires more fuel to haul the load and there is extra stress on suspensions. A weight sensor in the back seat would trigger an alert, advising the passenger that a weight surcharge would be added to the fare on the meter.

Lastly, think of the poor folks at resorts that rent mopeds and motor scooters. The average moped is designed for a maximum weight load of 200 lbs, and motor scooters are usually rated at 300 lbs. Both are designed for a maximum of two people…with most mopeds being built in Asia using immediate post WW2 data, and scooters are built using 50 - 60 year old European standards. In both cases people were smaller and designs could handle a driver and passenger even with a 10 – 15% overload. That’s no longer the case. Mopeds wear out very quickly when they are driven with excess loads…so pay more to ride dual or rent two. Engineering Mopeds to handle larger loads would require larger engines, moving them into the criteria of motorcycles, defeating the purpose of having a cheap mode of transportation requiring no special license.

Face facts, it’s gonna cost more to be “pleasantly plump” in the future.

The Bad Sied

Most Embarrassing or Scary Moment

Patty/Tazz heard an interesting news show recently and wanted to share a few thoughts.  Take it away Patty, here’s your 15 minutes!

Today I was listening to an MPR Radio program called, All Things Considered. They had an article on about prisoners being placed in solitary confinement for long periods of time, and whether or not this could be considered a form of torture.

The prison officials that they interviewed and the doctor who was doing the study both agreed that yes, over long periods of time isolation could be considered torture. The doctor on the program talked of how it could cause hallucinations, psychosis and eventually a complete mental break down. They discussed some one who had actually been in solitary confinement for 29 years and what that did to him.

I’ve a family member who is currently in our state prison and he has been in solitary confinement for six months. He gets one hour a day out of his cell, and during that hour he has to choose whether he goes outside, takes a shower, or uses the phone. He says he barely has time to do much more than one of those three.

Now, I know that my family member did what he did to be in prison, but I do not believe that any one should be locked up in a six by six cell for six months and not be allowed to be around any one.

We talk about repeat offenders. We talk about unrehabilitated people being released back in to society but then when some one makes a statement that they think that certain things with in the prison system should be reevaluated the stupid government steps in and says, "Oh! We can not change that"! Well, I think that if you put a few of those suits in solitary confinement for a few days they’d change their attitudes.

If any one would like to actually see or hear the article it can be found here.


Bumper To Bumper

Here in the U.S. Midwest, we can tell it’s spring. The annual bumper crop of orange barrels have begun to sprout.

We have ample traffic here in our metropolis. Daily, several locations traditionally bottle-neck and slow the commute to walking speed. Soon, truncated travel lanes will make it even more of a challenge.

What I find interesting are those who know their lane is ending, yet they travel all the way to the end in hopes of bypassing slowed traffic and finding a hole to sneak into. One argument is that the lane isn’t closed, so it’s perfectly ok to drive till one has to merge. The other side of the opinion is that drivers should be more courteous and merge earlier. I guess it depends on where one prefers the bottle-neck to occur.

It is a natural phenomenon wherever there is a merging of major traffic arteries, or where lanes of travel decrease. Road repairs and construction cause these temporary locations. However, road design has inherently created some of these spots. As one travels out from the city, traffic loads decrease, thus necessitating fewer lanes. But migration of people to the suburbs and beyond have made these spots major traffic snarls during "Rush Hour" and other times.

Beyond the strip of forest behind my house is a major "Bypass" route. One such spot exists that we can easily see where four lanes dwindle to two. From a traffic light only a short distance away, drag races ensue as people in both northbound lanes vie to gain the lead in the remaining one lane where it narrows. We hear the revving engines, then the resulting blasts on the horn as one of the drivers displays their displeasure in being "cut off" by "flipping off".

It seems this attitude of "getting there first wins" takes precedence over who actually has the right of way. It is assumed that the lane ending due to construction must yield to the continuous lanes. Usually, where lanes are designed to merge, one lane is identified to yield to the other. Where no delineation exists, traffic on the right is supposed to have the right of way, or so I was taught. It’s fun to watch, but not so much when you’re the one cut off.

Here’s your quiz:
Do you yield the right of way at merge points, even if you aren’t required to do so?
If someone cuts you off at a merge point, to you honk your horn, or do you wave with less than a full handful of fingers showing? Or both?
Do you avoid the merge by being in a different lane? Or do you try to block the offender?
Do you see this as a major contributor to "road rage"?

"Even if you’ve been fishing for 3 hours and haven’t gotten anything except poison ivy and sunburn, you’re still better off than the worm"
~ Unknown ~

I spent the whole of this winter complaining about the weather. It did not help that this winter was longer and colder than most, or that we got enough snow to export to the North Pole. My Canadian-born husband didn’t understand why I was making such a big deal of it. You see, I am from South Africa. I was born in a place that I truly believe has the world’s best weather. When I was a kid, I spent most of my free time running around outdoors with bare feet and a swimsuit. As an adult, my free time was spent at poolside barbecues with family and friends. An affinity for warmth and sunshine is genetically coded in me. And so I am very happy now that I have been able to ditch the coat and boots in favour of sandals and light jackets.

Of course, my preference for sunny weather has its pros and cons. A benefit from a health perspective is that the sun is the best natural source of Vitamin D, which contributes to healthy bones. A benefit from a vanity perspective is that people look great with tans. I am fortunate enough to be one of those people who turns brown rather than red in the sun, and I definitely get that healthy-looking glow in the summertime.

Despite these good things, over-exposure to the sun can be very harmful. The ultraviolet rays can cause a host of skin and eye conditions, including skin cancer. The incidence of skin cancer has been growing in recent years, for a variety of reasons. One of them is simply that people are spending more time in the sun. There are a lot of good sunscreens on the market, but many people tend to be lulled into a false sense of security by them. They do not reapply it frequently enough, or they go swimming and then neglect to reapply the sunscreen afterwards. The hole in the ozone layer has also been getting a lot of the blame, although this is as controversial a subject as global warming. Some believe that the hole in the ozone layer goes through natural cycles of expanding and contracting. In other words, the ozone problem is nothing new. Another reason for the rise in skin cancer is the "fake tan" revolution. People go to tanning salons in a well-meaning attempt to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, not realizing that many forms of fake tans carry the same dangers.

Now, this whole risk thing poses a dilemma for many people, myself included. I kind of like the idea of not getting skin cancer, but the thought of staying out of the sun is unbearable to me. So I have to take whatever precautions I can to reduce my chances of getting a skin disease. Sunscreen is a good form of protection, as long as it’s a broad-spectrum product that protects against UVA and UVB radiation. Sunscreen should be applied at least every two hours, and after swimming. Protective clothing should be worn where possible - hats that shade the face and cover the back of the neck, and loose-fitting, light clothing with long sleeves. The time of exposure also makes a difference. The sun is at its fiercest in the middle of the day, so lunch hours should be spent either indoors or in the shade. Finally, young children should have very limited exposure to the sun. This applies especially to babies under the age of six months, since the safety of sunscreen has not been established for children that young.

As we reduce our exposure to UV radiation, we need to ensure that our Vitamin D requirements are taken care of. Food sources of Vitamin D include fish, mushrooms and eggs. Many products these days are fortified with Vitamin D, such as milk, yoghurt and margarine.

As with so many other things, summertime has become a lot more complicated than simply going outside and having fun. We have to protect our health, and for those of us who like the way the sun makes us look, we have to ensure that our healthy glow comes from within, by eating right and staying hydrated.

Tim's Tales

Sometimes I can’t believe the difficulties some people have signing on to my web page. As I’ve explained before, your username is your college e-mail username. When your account is created, the system uses the last 6 digits of your social security number (SSN) as your temporary password. The first time you log in, you are required to change it to a permanent password that is 6 to 9 characters long and a mix of letters and numbers. Pretty simple, huh?

Well, some people tend to have difficulties understanding that when the system says your password has expired, it means you have to pick a new one. The SSN password is temporary. This is especially true of older students, like nursing students. That’s understandable, since many of them have little experience with computers. They get frustrated, and then they want to talk to a “real person”. The problem with that is, with almost 3,000 students, I don’t have the time to call everyone that needs a little hand holding.

Let’s take Sue as an example. She was having a problem logging in. So yesterday she called at about ten minutes to eight in the morning, which is before I get in. Darrell’s other brother Darrell ended up taking the call, and she gave him an earful. He told her to e-mail me, which she did. At 8:07 she wrote, I am unable to login to register for Summer 2009 & Fall 2009 course. Login is “expired”???????? Please email asap for additional help (requesting registration for courses today if possible). At 8:13, she e-mailed me again. I am trying to register for courses & the system is unable to “authenticate” me as a login. Please advise asap. Get the idea she’s a little impatient?

So I responded to the second message, explaining how her password has to be changed and her SSN password was temporary. I included a screen shot of the password change screen, which I had edited to put notes on what goes where. Today she sent me more two more e-mails. At 10:56 she wrote: My username & password is NOT working. This is the reason for my original email. The understood the instructions, however, it is NOT working. I need assistance to solve this problem that I may register for Summer & Fall 2009. Three minutes later, she wrote again: I would like for anyone to look into my username & password problem. It is not a user issue with understanding the simplest of instructions..I hope to be registered for courses no later than next week. Please expedite this email.

Well, Sue, it is a user issue with understanding the simplest of instructions. I couldn’t have made the instructions simpler. The thought of you giving patients their medication is scary. I have images of some poor patient lying in the hospital, with instructions to administer aspirin every four hours. She follows the instructions, but administers the aspirin rectally. Every four hours. That wouldn’t be a pleasant hospital stay.

What I usually do in cases like this is ask them what password they would like to use. Sometimes they don’t use numbers or the password is too short or too long, and the new password fails. But I didn’t want to risk testing her math skills and pissing her off more. So I thought and I thought and I thought some more, and finally came up with a brilliant solution that would work now. Students can look up their e-mail password on the web by just entering a few bits of personal information, and I have access to all those bits. So I looked up her e-mail password and changed her password to my web page to that. I knew she would know her e-mail password, because she was sending and receiving e-mail.

Sometimes I impress even myself.

Shallots

When using raw minced shallots in salad dressings, lessen their pungency by reducing the juice; wrap the minced shallots in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze the shallots so the cloth absorbs some of their juices, then add the shallots to the recipe as directed.

Re:  Plastic Bags

I don’t understand why ‘they’ cannot make paper bags made from Bamboo – it is a fast growing, renewable resource – there are varieties of bamboo (which is a grass – not a tree) that grows from several inches to several feet per week! It would eliminate the need to use plastic for carrying groceries or any other consumer purchase (like the mall stores).

And double bagging meats in bamboo paper bags (or perhaps thicker) would slow down possible leaks.

For those who want to continue using their cloth/reusable bags, I say go for it! I shop mainly at Sam’s club and use their empty boxes (free for anyone who wants them) to carry my groceries – I re-use the boxes as much as I can (my daughter has bought their re-usable bags, she has put her last name on each in permanent marker and she makes sure to take them with her where ever she shops!).

Then since I also have a fireplace and cardboard burns nicely in the winter time, I burn them, which saves me a little bit of money on my winter heating bills. (Green house gases, I know, but it’s that or a landfill – I don’t know of a cardboard recycling center anywhere close to where I live).

As for washing the re-usable cloth/plastic coated bags, take a wet soapy cloth washing out the interior then wipe dry. You could also spray them with Lysol to kill any germs – as for replacing the cardboard inserts – if you have cardboard lying around at home sure (or you can get cardboard boxes for free from any supermarket) cut it to fit! - Conservationally minded, Dora in Denver (well, about 30 miles outside of)



Re:  Nuclear Uses

I agree that the use of nuclear explosives could be beneficial to us, and that all those things that were mentioned that could be done with it are good. However, I want to first off know what is going to happen to the fall out from such an explosion, and even if it is done underground, doesn’t that then contaminate the ground, and possibly a water source? Then my next question is, if we’re allowed to pursue these types of nuclear uses, how come we can go and tell other countries that they can not even have use of nuclear devices? These are not meant to be critical questions. I just don’t understand all I know. Thanks in advance for your answers. - Tazz



Re:  Gardens

Hi Cliff,
I share a back alley with a dozen retired farmers who keep immaculate, highly productive gardens, and they can tell me which parts of mine are best. However, I must never ask for detailed advice if two are present, as they probably won’t agree. Apart from that, I notice lilacs around town, which means, I think, that we tend more to alkaline than acid soil. My first year as a gardener, I got good corn, which most had long since given up on, and a few other nice things. Last year, my 2nd, the beans just didn’t grow. I’ve also had no luck with tomatoes, but everybody else is giving them away. If even half of what I plant does well, I’m pretty happy. I’m just learning about why I have a compost heap; the neighbors use chemicals instead. In the rest of the yard, some trees are pretty good at discouraging anything else nearby. - Bob of the North, where we had a very easy winter, and the buds are just starting to swell.



Yes, I test the garden soil every year about this time. They sell kits at all the places where you can buy goods and plants for gardening. Cheap, easy, quick. But if you see problem spots in the lawn or garden, you need to fix them. Dandelions, for instance, tell you your soil is sour and you should put some lime on it. Actually, the better way is to save egg shells, crunch them up into bits and spread them on lawn or garden. Actually, there isn’t a single thing being suggested to people today to Go Green that my family hasn’t been doing since before I was born! Backyard gardens, canned food, home made jams and jellies from our own fruit or You Pick farms, recycling all kinds of things - when I don’t need an item and it’s still usable, a FREE sign accompanies it to the curb and it disappears before night fall. Metal salvagers pay cash per pound and are found in or near every decent size city. Check your yellow pages. Our home is insulated, has an efficient furnace, has the best windows, and a tankless hot water heater that seriously reduced our gas bill and produces excellent hot water when we need some. ( do you really need a 40 gallon tank at the ready 24/7? of course not!) I’ve carried bags to grocery stores for years. My mother in law used to keep her two string bags in her purse when she went to a huge open air market for meats and veggies, carting them home on a BUS! One bag for veggies, the other for meat wrapped in butcher paper. She never had a salmonella problem. Today we have several bags. One that rolls up into its own little pouch is always in my purse. Others hang on a couple hooks behind the door in the kitchen. Two are insulated. Excellent for frozen foods, meats etc. Sure I end up with a plastic bag now and then, which goes back to the store and gets plopped into their Recycle bin. Paper grocery store bags are used as liners for small wastebaskets, and one became a pattern for making fabric bags that size. It’s all a matter of re-training your brain to think: take the bags and the purse and shopping list and coupons. Americans are single focused - ie, need a loaf of bread, swing out the door, drive to store, buy bread. Instead, make a list, check sale items where you shop, and shop the list. Mine is clipped to the fridge with a pen near by. Stockpile basics. A pantry cupboard saves tons of time, money and gas.

Back in the late 1970’s I had an opportunity to meet and interview Dr. Willard Lilly (father of the H bomb turned environmentalist). He asked me, " were you alive during World War Two, young lady?" ( he was in his 80’s, I was about 45). I said yes, and he went on, " This is like then. We need to declare war against waste, just like then." During WWII my brother and I raced to snatch every empty glass bottle and cigarette pack (they used to be lined with tin foil) so we could turn in our gleanings and get PAID !

In every home there are opportunities to do things that make a difference, even if we don’t get rewarded for it or have our picture in the media for doing something useful for ourselves or our neighbors. And if you want to plant some veggies and don’t have a yard, pick up a couple of those rigid baby swim pools, poke drainage holes in the bottom and plant things in them. When you lug home three or four 40 pound bags of top soil to fill those containers, remember to use the bags for rubbish bags. The fringe benefits are all the tools you need are a trowel and a watering can, and slugs and bugs can’t invade your herbs and veggies. - Nancy L in Ohio



Re: Shoes

Kirsten, I am right with you on the anti-shoes/anti-shopping! MY solution? I wear Birkenstock sandals year round, with three pairs of Mary Janes (black, navy and brown) for the days when snow would cover my toes! And the sandals get kicked off the second I get to work or through the door at home. J The sandals have to be replaced every 4-5 years, and since they haven’t changed in 100 or so years, I know always that the same size will fit every time!! J I haven’t had to replace the MJs yet (8 years and counting!), so keep your fingers crossed for me when that day comes that they will make a comparable shoe!

Good luck finding something… - Liza the Bearfoot
