Irony...

I have to hand it to the hospital where I work. They have been on the Fortune 500 best places to work for the past 3 years. They indeed treat there employees to little perks here and there that make the facility a pleasant place to work.

One example of one of these "treats" every year around this time they have a big 4th of July celebration including food, music and the Houston Astros come and play games and visit patients. This year the lobby was all decorated in red white and blue with balloons and banners everywhere. Lunch consisted of Hotdogs and chips, which is about as American and 4th of July as you can get (I could not partake due to my low sodium diet... cursed meniere's).

As people were entering the celebration area we were all handed a small American flag. A little plastic flag attached to a little plastic stick. On examining the flag, printed on the side it says "Made in China". WTF???? So much for the "all american celebration".
