this link requires registration to read the whole thing, so i’ll quote the salient part:
Worker absenteeism on the Thursday and Friday opening of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith could cost U.S. employers a whopping $627-million (U.S.) in the two days, according to one report.
i wonder how that compares to cost to the economy due to lack of productivity over the first weekend of march madness? i used to know the actual number for march madness economy cost, but things like that are forgotten quickly. and i have to say sorry dear readers i don’t feel like putting in the effort to google search it. haha, that’s right, my new plan to build readership is to tout my total lack of regard for my readers and just write what i write… (=
