Apple employee spouse stages wacky weekend protest
An oversupply of overtime hours at Apple's campus literally drove one employee's spouse into a frenzy.
The husband of the unnamed employee, Michael Gough, reportedly dropped through the campus to demonstrate his frustration about the overtime hours he said his wife was required to work at Apple. "He drove a small car around Apple with a sign reading: 'KAPAO: Kids and Pets Against Overtime.'"
"I was driving around with two teenage boys and a dog,'' Gough said, "and we had a loudspeaker on the car and our basic message was, 'We are kids and pets against overtime, and we're here to shout out a message of solidarity to all of you hardworking people at Apple Computer who are working long hours on the weekend during the holiday season.'''
At one point, a security guard stopped Gough's car, but a small crowd of employees nearby were cheering him on.

never hang out with non-employees,... p.s. don't let your gf get a work at apple if you aren't working there.. too tempting. if she likes geeks that is. *ahem*
Gawd most people would kill for a little overtime getting close to the holiday's , if you do not like to work the take off and let someone that is willing to put in some time have your job. Simple

Been touring Apple campus recently?
i'm glad that they're busy, this close to MWSF
Hmm. Instead of protesting something dumb with your children and pets, why not do something fun with them?
I could picture it:
"Okay, kids! Let's get Fido and jump in the car!"
"Yay! Where we going? The park? The playground?"
"No, we're gonna patrol around Apple's campus begging for mommy to come home."
"Awww, dad! Again?"
"Shut up and get in the car, kid."
