Random Thoughts or Whatever

I had a weird experience last Thursday. It was Feb 29, so it would be the day for it, eh?

It was windy and l left home for the bus stop thinking that it would be okay to work in. One of my coworkers who gets on the bus just before the mall didn't get on.

Along the way to work, I noticed some of the electric company's trucks sitting around like they were waiting for power outages and several tree service trucks. Bad sign.

I got off the bus at 7-Eleven and walked into the store and NONE of my coworkers were there! :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: There are ALWAYS guys from work there at that time if we're working! So, I called my manager to make sure that we were working. He was obviously surprised I called and asked, but between the wind, not seeing the other guy on the bus, the utility trucks and no one in the store....it was beginning to feel rather twilight zonish.
 
God, I love Kenya.

Well, at least it's not spelled "HOEMOAN"... which surely would be one heck of an error enhencement.

Every day, internationally, women work longer than men, but the majority of their time spent goes unrewarded financially. According to the latest figures for OECD countries, women report working an average of 481 minutes per day - six percent more than men's 454. As our infographic shows, 263 of women's working minutes are unpaid - consisting chiefly of caring responsibilities, housework and voluntary community work.

While providing immense value to families and society, the lack of economic value attributed to this kind of work can not only lead to financial hardship or disadvantage during the working lives of women, but also their pension income upon retirement.

Despite working longer than men, women receive an average of 26 percent less income than men from the pension system. As the OECD writes: "Even if younger women today will earn more of their pension entitlements, achieving gender equality in pensions will remain a challenge because of the persistent earnings gap and the different distribution of care tasks between parents." Adding: "Pension systems are not meant to address and solve these issues and, hence, a more comprehensive approach encompassing employment, social and family policies is required to tackle the challenges faced by women and working parents."
