PACER

Top Photo. A visit to our previous project of 1998, 'Ninos del Rio' or 'Children of the River' in the town of Chapala. Picture shows some adults and a new generation of children. Water, sewage and electrical lines which our club sponsored, are serving their purpose for the residents. However more homes have been built in the area and hooked into the lines. Conditions are overcrowded, but life goes on pretty much the same. They told us that last rainy season that their whole area was totally flooded by the river over flowing its banks. We were thanked several times for the help that our club had given. They are so appreciative of what was done for them.

Bottom Photo: Handing over the keys to the buses. Although this part of our adventure was mission incomplete, the Mexican Rotarians took possession of the buses and contents. Temporarily the buses are stored at a custom bonding agent warehouse in Brownsville, Texas where they are safe from theft. The Jocotepec Rotarians are waiting for government tax exemption forms so that Mexican customs will release the buses and contents tax exempt. (This would amount to thousands of pesos). The Jocotepec club anticipates retrieving the buses by the begining of April.

DRESS CODE

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers, and carrying a $600 Gucci Bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

SICK DAYS

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

PERSONAL DAYS

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

RESTROOM USE

LUNCH BREAK

Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation, and input should be directed elsewhere.

Have a nice week!
