Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should make thing a little bit easier....


                            Prison  vs.  Work
          (Another article brought to you by my brother, Gary)


PRISON:
     *You spend the majority of your time in a
       10 x 10 cell.


WORK:
     *You spend the majority of your time in an
       8 x 8 cubicle.
----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You get three meals a day fully paid for.


WORK:
     *You get a break for one meal and you
       have to pay for it.
----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You get time off for good behavior.


WORK:
     *You get more work for good behavior.
----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *The guard locks and unlocks all the doors
       for you.


WORK:
     *You must often carry a security card and
       open all the doors yourself.
----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You can watch television and play games.


WORK:
     *You could get fired for watching  
      television and playing games.
----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You get your own toilet.


WORK:
     *You have to share the toilet with some
       people who pee on the seat.
-----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *They allow your family and friends
       to visit.


WORK:
     *You are not even supposed to  speak with
       your family.
-----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *All expenses are paid by the taxpayers
      with no work required.


WORK:
     *You get to pay all your expenses to go to
       work and they deduct taxes from your
      salary to pay for prisoners and welfare.
-----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You spend most of you life inside bars
       wanting to get out.


WORK:
     *You spend most of your time wanting to
      get out and go inside bars.
-----------------------------------------------------
PRISON:
     *You must deal with sadistic wardens.


WORK:
     *They are called managers.
-----------------------------------------------------

*Now you tell me, what is wrong with this picture??

just think, for most who spend over 10 years in and get out they are so acclimated to prison they commit crimes again just to get back in. and we are still working, where is the justice for that??? good write and so true.

Ironic. Well, I don't have much to complain about being on disability. But it took going crazy at work to get here. So much for work. Love the article. Liz

Hmmm, it was just like sitting next to my husband when he gets going on the subject. Worryingly true - let's just remember you can't put a price on self respect and the trust of others; its value is beyond measure.
