Sheesh, I didn't even know I had a "gap period," but the 11th ruled today that FedEx employees cannot proceed on a class-wide basis for failing to be paid during their "gap period."
A fairly standard opinion, though I think they went off the rails a bit on the quantum meruit ruling.
Still, for many of us the question is what work did we do during our "work period":
You know Facebook is no longer cool when the parents are way more active on it than the kids.Time spent on social networking sites has doubled in only a year, according to a 2009 study by Nielson Online. Time spent on Facebook has jumped to 13.9 billion this year as opposed to 1.7 billion last year, which is a 700 percent increase.
Twitter saw a 3,712 percent year-over-year increase between this year and last and Myspace users spent 384 million minutes viewing videos on the site.
Kids these days, right? Well, not so fast. According to the study, the greatest growth for Facebook has come from the 35-to-49-year-old demographic. Not to mention, twice as many 50-to-64-year-olds created profiles for the site than the under-18 age group.
Finally, for you Jack Thompson junkies, if you were curious to know his views on Professor Gates' arrest, his column is here.

Hey Jack, I'm chugging a beer, 2 Live Crew on high volume and letting the youngsters play Grand Theft Auto.
I'll get you. I swear I will. I'll get you, I'll file lawsuits, and when they're dismissed I'll sue the judges and the courthouse. I'l get you. There will be NO FUN in Miami that I do not approve of.
And If I catch you near my golf course, I'll chase you off with my four iron waving menacingly above my head. (I've done it before.)

You opened up a can of worms SFL. Nothing good can come from mentioning that nut job.
Let's go back to the opinion. SFL is wrong. It is a terrible decision.

The court thinks it is possible some people wanted to work for free. Thus individual issues?
True story: I was a partner at Tew Cardenas when Jack was in his free for all. Tew had the cockiest most self assured guys on the planet. Jack had them all cacanodo diamentes des los culos. Hell hath no fury like Jack pissed off with a couple of free hours enfrente de las internet. sorry for mixing metphors with a foreign language but Jack still has internet privileges and now I have to scrub my computer.
Make a wish foundation.
Reminds me of something I read one time describing work as "adult day care." ;)
