uh guy uh some of my things i i'd like to have a short work week
oh okay
you know and and we need you know better health insurance and you know cause
okay we can start off there let's just get started i don't wanna well you know uh talk about it now and then be bored when we get to it
yeah
okay
okay so i just press one then right okay ready
right
yep
okay
so so you think uh i i think a short work week is real nice uh i have a thirty seven hour work week how about you
well right now i'm i'm just a student i only work part time but i i've work in the job force before and
uh-huh
forty hours is just too long you just don't have any time to do anything it it seems like Saturday
Saturday you you get off but Sunday you're getting ready for Monday
and if we could have us if we could have a thirty two hour work week well that'd happen is that for every four people we'd give another job
uh-huh
right
and then that way that everybody would have a three day holiday okay and that way that more that that would make a a bigger market we'd have uh
more recreation people would have time to do it there'd be less of a stress level we'd have less we'd have less crime we'd have to we'd have to build less prisons we'd need you know less police force
yeah it all makes sense to me although there may be more crime i mean if people have more leisure time it's not clear in that
it it that's that's that's a that's a possibility one of one of the problems they're facing now a lot of people now is that the health insurance
yeah
is that the small businesses can't afford can't offer us health insurance
uh-huh
and it it it's too costly and then what is what is happening is that they're on um
a policy where they have so X amount of of users in it okay and so they get a specific rate well what happens is that if if people start becoming having chronic illness and
and and things like that
what happens and they where they have to spend out a lot of money for one particular it's called a a group well what'll what happens then is that
right
they cancel because they just can't cancel the indivigal
so that they have to cancel is just like life insurance they have to cancel everything
um-hum
so what they do is is that they they cancel the insurance and then all the people don't have any insurance coverage
right
so
but i'm i'm you know i'm i'm satisfied with my job i'm i'm an engineering student and i work for my instructor and i'm
right
i'm not a typical student i'm i'm older i'm i'm in my thirties okay and so i have a lot of job experience and
yeah
my instructor thrives on that because he can just tell me what he wants and he can give me access and tell me what to do and just turn me loose but in the in the same token
right
it's a really really enjoyable for me because i don't have to have you know nobody breathing down my back and
one of the things that i i really hate about jobs i don't i don't like bosses that that you know wanna
yell at you and you know and are are down your back and all this and that i i just really can't deal with that so
yeah uh
what kind of what kind of jobs have you done
well i do work uh research in computer science and i've just been doing that for a few years now so
uh-huh
uh
i my job has most of the benefits i want um
what i really like is i like being like they send me to conferences for instance but probably not as much as i'd like but uh
you know that's just nice being you know having a company being able to give you time to do that sort of thing and sort of
uh they also a really important thing to me is when they uh
they pay for continuing education like i i get night courses that they're they'll cover right now and that's really good
yeah that's great you have what you might call knowledge power you know when when you work at a company
yeah
right
whether you know it or not is that you're categorized some people can be let go and replaced like uh say uh a a typist uh somebody who does data entry or answers the telephone a receptionist
but if you're a person that's doing computer type things and you have the you have the knowledge you know what the system you've revised and revamped the system well then you're you're vital to the company and you get more of the benefits so
yeah
that's where i'm that i'm i like i'm into computers too and that's one of the things that i've found in in any one one of these jobs and anything i've done
is that to have knowledge when you have the knowledge you're you're not gonna um you know be let go you know be one of the last ones to let go anyway
right
but what i
