The other day I was thinking how the economy is affecting jobs worldwide and the for the first time I actually felt the same about my job now. This year the number of students has declined due to high tuition among other things so I was told that my help would not be needed this year because they have student part time workers to do the same job in other words use part time labor is the answer. In my opinion Part-time work = Cheap labor. Look at the number of contact and haken shain or temporarily recruited employees who are recruited via a third party recruiting company. If in fact we take away all the employees and leave only full time regular staff the school will have nobody left to work.

Two more cases of the swine flu have been discovered right at work. Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. Today I went to work as usual and thought why are there no students on the bus? The buses are usually packed in the morning. Arrived at work and found the notice on my desk saying the university was closed from today July 7 until July 14 because a third student at APU was found to have the swine flu.

I am beginning to think that this swine, pig, new influenza thing is one big consumer scam put on by the media in these poor economic times to get people to buy more masks to be eventually thrown into the landfill and/or burned to pollute the land, water and air. People SLOW down and enjoy life. The job is not the number one priority in life.
