Chrysler UAW Members Drinking and Smoking Weed at Lunch

s

Thanks to the attentiveness of a local Jefferson NC Fox News undercover film crew, a group of Chrysler workers have been exposed on a lunch break that includes consuming alcohol from the local liquor store and smoking marijuana.  It is unclear how the effects of these stimulants did not catch the attention of plant management.

The group headed to the parking lot of the local public park after stopping by the liquor store. This liquid and smoke filled daily lunch routine was documented on video by the film crew for more than a week. Even the drivers of the vehicles were actively consuming without regard to their impaired state while behind the wheel.

Fox News showed the footage to Chrysler which has prompted an investigation.  They have responded that they were disturbed with what they saw and are taking this very seriously, and will take appropriate action for what they deem to be unacceptable behavior.

$75,000 Is the “Perfect Salary for Happiness”

A recent study reported by the Wall Street Journal looking at the relationship between salary and happiness has concluded that  75,000 dollars a year is the point at which people remain most happy. Above this number there is no measurable increase in one’s personal satisfaction.

It doesn’t mean that you will be less happy if your earn more, just that you won’t be any happier above the $75,000 mark.  So if you count yourself among those in this group, take a moment to reflect on how lucky you are.  On second thought, you are probably already happy so that won’t be necessary.

Fighting Afternoon Fatigue

It is very common to feel sleepy in the afternoon while at work.  While this condition is not at all abnormal in itself, there are things that we can do to minimize it and therefore become more productive. First we need to understand what might be causing us to feel sleepy.  There can be a number of reasons that range from not getting enough sleep the night before, to eating a heavy lunch or not having enough fluids in the body.

Lunch

The type and quantity of food you eat at lunch can have a direct impact on how awake and alert you are going to feel in the afternoon.  One suggestion is to avoid lunch foods that are high in carbohydrates or laced with additives such as MSG which is present in many Asian foods.  Also avoid overeating which causes the body to devote too many of its resources to digesting the food and leaves you feeling tired.  Examples of good foods to eat at lunch include fruits, nuts or yogurt while avoiding such things as pasta, pizza or sugary foods such as cookies and doughnuts.  Stay properly hydrated with water or a sugar free beverage.

Combating Fatigue

A couple ways to fight the onslaught of sleepiness are to:

1.  Take a quick 20 minute nap to recharge your batteries

2.  Drink a tall glass of water or a caffeinated sugar free beverage.

3.  Get up out of your chair and take a walk, preferable outside in the fresh air.

4.  Take a daily multivitamin and exercise regularly.

If these changes prove ineffective in managing your afternoon fatigue, there may be a more serious underlying medical condition going on.  It would be advisable at that point to consult with your doctor to make sure there isn’t a more serious reason for feeling tired.
