This type of situation makes me very grateful that I work in a strong union shop.  I realize that the union is not perfect and we have many issues that we need to be addressing but I never have to worry that I will be terminated for walking away from an unsafe situation, attending a Grandmothers funeral etc.

I really like my Nook I use it all the time. I also go to the B&N store when I want to buy a hardcopy book even though its farther away than the local Books a Million.
