It is Labor Day 2017 in the USA, so most people are off work today (which seems antithetical to the "labor" part of the holiday name). For those unfortunate enough to be at work, here is a bit of vintage electronic comic relief from a 1969 Electronics World magazine for your office-bound condition. Actually, during my years of working for someone else, I used to work the holidays (except Christmas) if I could get another day off instead. With very few managers around, those of us at work would enjoy what we termed "IPV," or In-Plant-Vacation. Very little work got done on those days, and lunches and break-times were pretty long. I was always surprised the scheme never caught on more widely.
