She is enjoying her work in the school there but says a word processor would be ideal - if only there were some electricity. Janet feels she would want to feed the whole population if she stayed there too long though, noting that the children are always hungry and yet no one complains. She even relates how one man came to her door trying to sell his child's bed so he could afford to buy food. As it happened Janet already had a bed and typically shares it with a lizard or two at night. Janet doesn't know how to say goodbye in Swahili so she signs off by telling us all to take care and not to work too hard. JC INSTFUCTIONAL TYPING Please note that any requirements for Instructional word processing nay be directed to the Word Processing Centre (Delphia Johnstone, Local 427) but that any confidential personnel typing should be directed to the Dean of Instruction's office (Kim Cabral, Local 246) or the Principal's Office (Francine Lesonsky, Local 237). MEL A DRY OFF So you want the day off? Let's take a look at what you are asking for ..... - There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break that accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days for work. With a one hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. - You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days available for work. We are off for 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give you 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be damned if you're going to take that day offJ Your supervisor
