- From the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001) Worker dead at desk for 5 days Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for FIVE DAYS before anyone asked if he was feeling okay. George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend. His boss Elliot Wachiaski said "George was always the first guy in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and kept much to himself. "A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died. You may want to give your co-workers a nudge or kick occasionally.

Attached is a power point I used for next Tuesday's PLI presentation. In addition to my own input, I borrowed from Ken's outline and Mark's powerpoint from last year - and so I thought I'd give us all credit on page 1. Please feel free to make any changes or additions as you feel appropriate. I will be out of the office on Friday and Monday, and so if you wish to discuss the presentation with me beforehand, it will be best if we speak by Thursday. Bill. - PLI 2001 Energy.ppt
