Take our children to work day!
At least that's what the mail from management at work says.
A wonderful idea, I'm sure, except for a few tiny details. The (very chirpy, because it comes from human resources, and by US statute all corporations must put HappyDrugs! into water coolers in the HR department) mentions, right off the bat, that « the day will begin with a continental breakfast from 8:00 until 9:00am »
8:00am. So the idea would be that we'd be, um, awake at 8:00am? And not only that, functional at 8:00am? I don't know if there's enough tea in the entire pacific northwest to make that happen.
Now if they started this after the sun has had a chance to warm things up a bit -- 2pm or so -- then it might be feasable. But not until then.

"Take our kids to work days" are stupid. The last thing our kids need is some pseudo event trying to make them believe that working for somebody is fun or cool or inevitable. Better that we have a "daddy or mommy stays home from work day." Call in sick, keep your kids home from school and go hiking or bike riding, or goofing around at the park or dumpster diving or whatever. If they are like most of us, your kids will have more than enough time to learn the wonders of the workplace.
