This final note today, which, as you'll see, has a distinct 'keeping the workers happy' theme to it.
Next time you're feeling sleepy on the job -- not unusual around this time of year with the whole daylight savings time thing -- go ahead and consider a nap. USA Today points out a 20-minute nap can give a big boost to productivity. And that some companies are in fact setting up rooms just so you can grab a quick snooze.
And about what I said Friday -- no, I'm not leaving. Are you kidding?
Did get the big boss to agree to Beer Cart Friday, though.
@kairyssdal OK. I hear you! You pick the Friday, and I will get the beer for the whole Marketplace crew. #CultureBeforeProfits

Glad to hear that you're still with the program, Kai. You had me going. Lost Tom Hudson on NBR recently, only to be replaced by more pro-industry cheerleading by regulars from CNBC. This program stands apart from that crowd, and I hope that doesn't change. Give that man a pay-raise, APM! This broadcast's segment on raising the age of Social Security is a good example of that; I remember when they changed it, back in . . . '83, I believe, and contribution levels were increased at the same time, with a promise from Congress to keep the trust seperate from the general fund. So, why is it even included as a "budgetary" program slated for the chopping block? This sort of alternative reporting is very much appreciated by this listener.
