Workplace Murders On The Rise
During 2007, 5,488 people died from job-related injuries, a 6 percent decrease from 2006. However, workplace murders increased 13 percent to 610 homicides.
I find that stat a bit remarkable. I’m not sure what would drive the workplace murder rate up, but that is a disturbing trend.

The answer to this one is simple, Derrick.
It’s workplace noise, stress and obnoxious people that are driving workers to distraction – and the solution is to be able to work from home.
Why, just last year, The Onion reported that “Manny Ramirez Asks Red Sox If He Can Work From Home.”

Everything would be better if we could all work from home (like you, Moe!).
As Manny’s agent said, “My client just can’t seem to focus in his current place of work. Fenway Park’s loud, boisterous atmosphere and high-stress, pressure-packed environment are not ideal working conditions for anyone.”
Gotta’ be part of the reason he left the Sox, don’t you think? Which is a much better solution than offing the second baseman.
