Laboring Away
1. What is an appropriate amount of labor for you? How many days a week would you work if it were your choice? Hmm, maybe three.
2. If you could be paid an annual salary so that money wasn't a factor in choosing a career, what job would you want to have? A writer, I guess.
3. Describe your most memorable Labor Day (or May Day) weekend. In 2001, I went to Las Vegas with a couple friends and saw Madonna in concert! That's pretty much the only Labor Day weekend I remember... most of them are very low-key and just like any other weekend.
4. What's the minimum wage where you live? Do you think it's appropriate? Well, I had to look it up and it's apparently $5.85 in Virginia, the national minimum. However, in DC it's $7.00 and in Maryland it's $6.15 (see here) . Do I think that's appropriate? Uh no way. That equates to $12,168 in Virginia and let's see rent alone can cost nearly that for an average place to live so I'm not sure how people are expected to live on that. It's highly inappropriate, is what it is.
5. Have you ever been in labor or helping someone else while she was in labor? Nope.
Bonus question (we're making you work this Labour Day) - Do you spell it Labour Day or Labor Day? Obviously the latter...
