[speaker001:] uh guy uh some of my things I I'd like to have a short work week
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] you know and and we need you know better health insurance and you know cause
[speaker002:] okay we can start off there let's just get started I don't wanna well you know uh talk about it now and then be bored when we get to it
[speaker001:] yeah okay okay so I just press one then right okay ready
[speaker002:] right yep
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] so so you think uh I I think a short work week is real nice uh I have a thirty seven hour work week how about you
[speaker001:] well right now I'm I'm just a student I only work part time but I I've work in the job force before and
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] forty hours is just too long you just don't have any time to do anything it it seems like Saturday Saturday you you get off but Sunday you're getting ready for Monday and if we could have us if we could have a thirty two hour work week well that'd happen is that for every four people we'd give another job
[speaker002:] uh-huh right
[speaker001:] and then that way that everybody would have a three day holiday okay and that way that more that that would make a a bigger market we'd have uh more recreation people would have time to do it there'd be less of a stress level we'd have less we'd have less crime we'd have to we'd have to build less prisons we'd need you know less police force
[speaker002:] yeah it all makes sense to me although there may be more crime I mean if people have more leisure time it's not clear in that
[speaker001:] it it that's that's that's a that's a possibility one of one of the problems they're facing now a lot of people now is that the health insurance
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] is that the small businesses can't afford can't offer us health insurance
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and it it it's too costly and then what is what is happening is that they're on um a policy where they have so X amount of of users in it okay and so they get a specific rate well what happens is that if if people start becoming having chronic illness and and and things like that what happens and they where they have to spend out a lot of money for one particular it's called a a group well what'll what happens then is that
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] they cancel because they just can't cancel the indivigal so that they have to cancel is just like life insurance they have to cancel everything
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so what they do is is that they they cancel the insurance and then all the people don't have any insurance coverage
[speaker002:] right so
[speaker001:] but I'm I'm you know I'm I'm satisfied with my job I'm I'm an engineering student and I work for my instructor and I'm
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] I'm not a typical student I'm I'm older I'm I'm in my thirties okay and so I have a lot of job experience and
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] my instructor thrives on that because he can just tell me what he wants and he can give me access and tell me what to do and just turn me loose but in the in the same token
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] it's a really really enjoyable for me because I don't have to have you know nobody breathing down my back and one of the things that I I really hate about jobs I don't I don't like bosses that that you know wanna yell at you and you know and are are down your back and all this and that I I just really can't deal with that so
[speaker002:] yeah uh
[speaker001:] what kind of what kind of jobs have you done
[speaker002:] well I do work uh research in computer science and I've just been doing that for a few years now so
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh I my job has most of the benefits I want um what I really like is I like being like they send me to conferences for instance but probably not as much as I'd like but uh you know that's just nice being you know having a company being able to give you time to do that sort of thing and sort of uh they also a really important thing to me is when they uh they pay for continuing education like I I get night courses that they're they'll cover right now and that's really good
[speaker001:] yeah that's great you have what you might call knowledge power you know when when you work at a company
[speaker002:] yeah right
[speaker001:] whether you know it or not is that you're categorized some people can be let go and replaced like uh say uh a a typist uh somebody who does data entry or answers the telephone a receptionist but if you're a person that's doing computer type things and you have the you have the knowledge you know what the system you've revised and revamped the system well then you're you're vital to the company and you get more of the benefits so
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] that's where I'm that I'm I like I'm into computers too and that's one of the things that I've found in in any one one of these jobs and anything I've done is that to have knowledge when you have the knowledge you're you're not gonna um you know be let go you know be one of the last ones to let go anyway
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] but what I
