Idea Description
misc. free and other silly ideas w. crude boundaries:
----------------------------------------
according to the ma$$ media, there's a labor shortage going on. for a dissenting opinion, see "home.flash.net/~josielor/resume.htm".
the federal government (not to be confused with the feral government which is an oxymoron) wants to claim veto power i'm sure the people who run lansing can hire some top notch hillsdale or avemaria educated or other pro states' rights lawyer who can beat them in the supreme court.
next after transportation is agriculture they regulate weights and measures equipment used in retail and other business in michigan. they should put gas pump regulation under transportation or something. whatever department handles that at the time michigan finally goes metric can send its field agents wandering around the state checking to see that gas pumps are calibrated accurately in metric units. if the republicans that run michigan find that a little too regulatory, the state (or maybe private pref. nonprophet parties) could have civil cervantes (or volunteers as the case may be) travel around the state writing down latitudes and longitudes (in radians if we want to go all the way from metric to si (mks)), prices per unit translated to us$ (or even €'s) per liter (or m3 if si), date above numbers observed, and tabulating all these numbers into a relational database and making it available [advertising|for] free via the internet or pubwan assuming that project ever gets off the hround.
-------------------------------
is it just my imagination, or has yahoo!/geo$ities/we-bring been taking a more propietary stance to geocities.com content?
----------------------------------
one of the many differences between most children and most adults is ability (maybe willingness?) to attend to others' needs or have one's own needs attended to at appointed (instead of random) times. sometimes i lie insomniacal at night wondering whether brightidea.com's sponsors or patrons think that's a good thing.
-----------------------------------
1 week = 168 hours
1 shift = 8 hours
ergo 1 week = 168/8=21 shifts
21=3*7
define tiersemaine as 7 consecutive shifts (56 hours or 21/3 days)
ergo 1 week = 3 tiersemaines
the first tiersemaine starts sunday night at midnight, which is to say 0000 local time munday. why sunday night at midnight? why not? makes it more judeo christian friendly and they are in the majority in my country, and i really don't have anything against them.
since a tiersemaine is two and a third days, it almost (but not quite) neatly divides into two days. call them day one and day two, and call the eight remaining hours a minisabbatical. divide the minisabbath into three unequal parts, one big (4 hours) and 2 little (2 hours). the big one goes between day one and day two. one of the little ones is before day one, and the other little one is after day two. define the term "demiminibat" to denote a four hour period of time. think of it as a four hour coffee break or something. unless you work in a coffee shop or something. now you have a four hour block of time for tim hortons!
so in the weekly calendar of someone who for whatever bizarre reason adopts this idea, the week starts in the middle of a demiminibat. the "work week" starts at 0200 for those scheduled to work the first shift of the first day of the first tiersemaine in the week. if you don't work at tim hortons or dunkin donuts (deer nuts are cheaper than beer nuts, and donuts are an oxymoron) or a bar (since happy hour is the demiminibat after a worker/drinker's shift)
all these weird weights and measures in the time axis make one wonder why they don't switch to SI time. if you're living by SI time, you're measuring time in seconds (the s in mks stands for seconds but that in si does not it stands for system). if you're living in SI time, you're thinking "how many seconds long is my work shift"? or "how many seconds old am i" or "what is my car's speed in meters per second"?
