Meme-ity Meme Meme Meme

I'm convinced memes are entirely there to help us fill journal entries when nothing whatever exciting is happening in our lives. Hmm... Day job quiet. Wrong kind of quiet. I've been watching more closely since we had two blatant Worker's Rights violations in the same day (Around the second week of December), one of which I suspect was done before. Never mind the ongoing little pushes and nudges to get people to work more, and for less pay, than they actually earned. Somehow, they never happen to me, just like other weird things past managers did never seemed to happen to me. (People who like to push can usually tell exactly who will push back.) Somehow, this is supposed to mean they shouldn't bother me. ***Bristle***

Nothing new has happened, thankfully, and nobody's holiday was messed with, and the ones that happened all together were dealt with and fixed. In fact, since over the year we've been pushing to improve health and safety regs to qualify for one of the big food industry things, I'd say things are improving on some fronts - making the fronts where they aren't stand out more. But this, far more than anything to do with the work I do, has been making me much happier about the thought of leaving this job someday.

I have fantasies of picking up copies of the Employment Standards books and passing them out downstairs like candy. Except they'd be candy nobody would really want, even those who should learn them.

(This all came into my brain and out my fingers now because between putting in the mem parts of this entry and writing this intro, I've been talking to the co-worker who's taken it on herself to deal with some of these things. But is underpaid and not given enough time off, or has her time off cancelled out from under her because "we need you for...".)

Anyhow. Memes.
