Pumps' Perplexities

Yesterday was the legal observance of Columbus Day......
Columbus Day has become one of few remaining non-
working days for union, governmental and some
financial institution employees......Veterans Day
is another which comes to mind.....

While there are college professors who believe that
Mr. Columbus destroyed the Western Hemisphere,
they do not have to work on his birthday.......While
union workers complain about their wages they get
more holidays off than other workers.....And heaven
forbid they have to work on a holiday, they will get
paid time and one half......Triple time for an Easter
Sunday.......

Most workers in the United States have become
accustomed to their 6-8 holidays.....Some liked swapping
Veteran's Day for the day after Thanksgiving.....
But we still have a few who complain that they can
not have both.......It is difficult to imagine these people
every turning their negative efforts into something
productive......Pumps
