(Once upon a time in many European cultures people celebrated their Saint's Days, not birthdays, so all Josephs would celebrate Mar 19.) In any case, here's what you need to know: St. Joseph was a carpentar and a very fine step dad by the thin accounts available; he is the patron saint of all WORKERS. I gather you're a boss so it's not for you. Pero ten cuidado: Make sure no 'sabots' get tossed into your mainframe while you're away. Workers get all sentimental about their prerogatives once they get liquored up as I'm sure you know.
