The original May 1 celebration is a good thing. However I feel it has
been co-opted. Many of my peers in the work place 1990 bragged about
how much overtime they got. In my immediate family I have a brother a
grad of Berkeley School of music that worked 12 hours a day 7 days a
week and after 25 years lost it and no pension. This as a Nursery
Manager. Now he works 6 days a week 12 hours with a 401 K. Yea good
money but what a life.

Funny thing, success. Commonly in Europe it is gaged by service to your
family. Here in America, it is gaged by service to your job.
