Nothing to see here people, keep moving

DOWNEY (KTLA) -- An L.A. County employee apparently died while working in her cubicle on Friday, but no one noticed for quite some time.

51-year-old Rebecca Wells was found by a security guard on Saturday afternoon.

She was slumped over on her desk in the L.A. County Department of Internal Services.

"I came in Saturday to do a little work, and I saw them when they were taking her out," co-worker Hattie Robertson told KTLA.

The exact time of death is not clear, but detectives say that, at worst, she had been dead for a day before her body was discovered.

The last time a co-worker saw her alive was Friday morning around 9:00 a.m., according to Downy police detectives.

Downey CA, I used to own a Chevron service station there on Firestone and Old River School RD back in 1971, or rather, I was the silent partner.

I would say her boss gets a big stinky "F" on the leadership portion of the report card.

I hope her 20 kids on welfare get paid her pension for the next billion years.

Witnesses were quoted: "Every worker here looks dead from 9-5 so we had no reason to suspect anything might be wrong"

How can you tell the difference between the live ones and the dead ones?

The fact that they didn't notice her not performing her job duties until the next day demonstrates how essential she was.
The problem of non-essential workers is worse at the federal level. If 90% of federal workers didn't show up for work for two years who would miss them? Who would notice that something that needed to be done did not get done?

My question is

Who is actually dead, the one who died or all the ones that didn't notice she was dead?
