Weekend's finished

While it was nice to play games, I feel like I procrastinated on something I shouldn't have. But I'll make up for it tomorrow - if there are office hours, I'm going, because I'm lost at the moment and could use some guidance on the paper that's due in a week. I have stuff, just no idea on how to organize it, what to put in, or anything else, for that matter. I need to visit the office hours.

Starbucks appears to be having trouble with some of their employees: After a Worker's Union has begun organizing, the management has harrassed some of the members about wearing alternative religious symbols. What I don't get is why they went at that particular tack - it ends in lawsuits like this one that's happening. If they're not happy about the union, they should work to resolve things so that the union is felt to be unnecessary, not targeting the workers. As this example proves, it's not a good tactic at all. And there might be just a touch of pandering here - the person noted is of a non-majority (not even strong-minority) religion and is taking flak - even the person who was of the strong-minority religion took flak for it, too. I might be just a touch more annoyed because of this, because I'm predisposed toward such aggravation.

If my journal doesn't give a sense of my personality, this might spell it out a bit more explicity:

Beyond that point, I've been thinking a bit more about my life, the fragments I inhabit, and some of what makes me less than self-actualized, perhaps.
