headline: workers to be paid for working

from the business section of today's paper: bridgestone may base pay on workers' productivity. begging the question: what was it previously based on? inactivity?

currently watching what's in the bag? on the golf channel, and today they are pimping a golf cart. stereo. wood dash. headlights, taillights, brakelights, underbody lights. goodyear tires. chrome wheels. canopy. ostrich skin seats. alarm system. this cart goes fast and looks good. the funniest thing was when the one guy goes: yeah, we stayed up really late last night working on the cart. we stayed up till 10:30. haha. golfers. sheesh.

watched a golf movie last night - the greatest game ever played. shia la bouef played francis ouimet, a 20-year-old amateur who won the u.s. open in 1913. it's a true story of a working class boy who challenged the exclusionary class system that was part of golf in the early 20th century and challenged the domination of british & scottish players by beating two brittons in an 18-hole playoff round. it's also the story of a boy's relationship with his father and a unique friendship between francis & his 10-year-old caddie, eddie lowery. it's a fascinating story and a well-made movie.

the current programme has now changed to vandy beating up on arkansas in the sec baseball tourney. 4-1 vandy going into the 2nd inning. the indy 500 is currently in a rain delay, and bernhard langer is leading the golf tournament. lots of sports on, eh? makes you want to just sit around and watch sports. not very productive. wonder if bridgestone would pay me for this?
