THOUGHT FOR THE DAY...
It is Hard:
to forget,
to apologize,
to save money,
to be unselfish,
to avoid mistakes,
to keep out of a_rut,
to begin all over again,
to make the best of
things,
to keep your temper at
all times,
to think first and act
afterwards,
to maintain a high
standard,
to keep on keeping on,
to shoulder the blame,
to be charitable,
to admit error,
to take advice,
to forgive...
But it pays!

SMOKING
"Smoking is today's
leading cause of preventable
death, killing more people
annually than the combined
death toll from AIDS, cocaine,
heroin, alcohol, fire,
automobile accidents, homicide
and suicide. Studies conclude
that workplace smoking not only
is hazardous to the health of
an organization's work force,
it also can be hazardous to the
company's financial health.
The American Lung
Association estimates that the
average employee who smokes
costs companies between $500
and $5,000 per year in
increased insurance premiums,
higher absenteeism and lost
productivity.
A study of 2,537 newly
hired Boston postal workers
averaging 30.2 years of age,
revealed that smokers were
absent 34% more often than non-
smokers, were 40% more likely
to suffer occupational injuries
than nonsmokers, and had 55%
more discipline -related
problems than nonsmokers.
A late 1980s study of
46,000 Du Pont employees showed
that each year the average
smoker cost the company an
additional $960 in medical
claims and sick days."
