We worked last Saturday (yesterday) .
One of my temp employees asked if he could leave at 9:30 in the morning. It seems that he has to go to a series of court-ordered "Anger Management" sessions on Saturday mornings.
Any time the government mandates that someone do something for his own good, I'm automatically skeptical, so I asked the kid if the meetings were worthwhile. Here's what he said:
The more I learn about our government, the greater the likelihood that I'll be going to the Anger-Management sessions. Sheesh.

Well, you have to pay this lady $15.00, and then we sit around and smoke for about the first 30 minutes because it never starts on time. Then this dude comes in and we sit in a circle and bullshit for a while, then somebody tells about how he was in this bar a few days ago and somebody bumped him, and how before the meetings he woulda kicked that dude's ass, but now that he's going to the meetings he didn't.This kid could've spent most of his morning building displays for grocery stores. Instead, he had to give his time and money to a couple of government lifers.
And we'll all start clappin' and shit, and some other dudes will start crying, and the counselor dude says that's really good and how we all need to keep it up.
You don't have to talk or even be awake. The main thing is giving that lady $15.00.

The key to anger management classes is that they try HARD to piss you off and if they succeed then they kick you out and write a letter to the judge. That's the key- just take it easy and graduate
Anon,
You're not the first person I've heard this from.
I think that if there were ever a serious effort to shut down a large % of our ridiculous prison system, we'd see a lot of Parole Officers cracking down just to show that we need them all, oh so badly....
