Work Vs. Prison
In prison, you spend the majority of your time in an 8- foot-by-10-foot cell. At work, you spend the majority of
your time in a 6-foot-by-8-foot cubicle.
 |
In prison, you get three meals per day. At work, you get just one break for a meal—and you have to pay for it. |
|
In prison, you get time off for good behavior. At work, you get rewarded for good behavior with more work. |
|
In prison, a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. At work, you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself. |
|
In prison, you can watch TV and play games. At work, you get fired for watching TV and playing games. |
|
In prison, you get your own toilet. At work, you have to share. |
|
In prison, your friends and relatives are allowed to visit you. At work, you can get in trouble for even speaking to your friends or family on the phone. |
|
In prison, all expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work required. At work, you get to pay all the expenses, and then you get to have taxes deducted from your paycheck (some of which go to pay the prisoners’ expenses). |
|
In prison, you spend most of your time looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out. At work, you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars. |

What To Do After Giving Blood
Recovering from donating blood is a simple procedure. Immediately after you donate, you will be given a small snack and a beverage and asked to spend 15 minutes or so relaxing. The American Red Cross advises drinking four 8-ounce glasses of non-alcoholic liquids over the course of the following 24 hours and eating your regular meals. Keep the bandage on for five hours and avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for the rest of the day. After 24 hours, your body will replace the fluid
it has lost. |

Destroy Your Data
If your laptop or cell phone is stolen, a criminal could have
access to your credit card numbers, banking codes, and personal information.
But there are services that can destroy the information.  The thief still has your computer, but not your data. The software on a laptop runs continuously in the background. When the computer goes online, the service sends a signal to destroy the data.
Tech columnist Kim Komando recommends contacting
zTrace's ZControl (www.zTrace.com). If your laptop is stolen, call, email, or fax zTrace.
For about $40, zTrace will mark your laptop as stolen. When the thieves go online, files would be deleted. zTrace can also lock the keyboard and mouse and send a message to the thief.
