Jane Wagner: It's How You Spin It

In response to: President Obama mentioned four-day workweeks to save others' jobs in his Inauguration speech. What do you think about this?

Good idea; however, I’d feel better about it if we called it leisure time rather than being out of work.

I think many will call it “my other job time” because they will not have time for leisure, they will be looking to work part time someplace else to make up for the lost money… probably replacing the 1 day of work lost from their first job with 2 days lower pay at another. That is in the real world most of us live in anyway.

Dear Ms Jane: I would gladly share my jobs with other cats, especially if it allowed them to feel as useful as I do. A four day work week sounds perfect to me. We cats know very well how to use any leisure time we have. I was so very happy to see you back as I missed chatting with you and I wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow. Purrs and hugs, Dice, the Nice
