Taken For Granted?????

This is supposedly a true story taken from the New York Times.
Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to determine why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for five days. George Turklebaum, 51, a proof-reader at the 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 when an office cleaner asked why he was working during the weekend.
His boss 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. He was always absorbed in his work."
You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally. the moral of the story:
Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.
