- Life is all about balance, and one of the most important balancing acts of any adult’s day-to day existence is separating work life and home life. Unfortunately, many modern workers just don’t know when to take a break — even if they’re home and the workday is over.

This bottle contained dead bedbugs… A health safety company was brought in and received a report from an employee that they saw the insects crawling around the men’s changing rooms.

- Just like their colleagues in Kansas, Missouri lawmakers might consider making daylight saving time permanent. Rep. Tim Remole, of Missouri’s 6th District, filed a bill in December to establish daylight saving time as a standard time. According to the bill, it would eliminate Daylight Saving Time in Missouri as early as August 2020. But there’s a catch -- 20 states must have adopted similar legislation for the law to go into effect.

The U.S. Department of Transportation says, "Under the Uniform Time Act, as amended, states may exempt themselves from observing Daylight Saving Time by State law. If a state chooses to observe Daylight Saving Time, it must begin and end on federally mandated dates.”
