Norwegian radio journalist Pia Beathe Pedersen quit on the air complaining that her bosses were making her read news on a day when "nothing important has happened." Pedersen claimed that broadcaster NRK put too much pressure on the staff and that she "wanted to be able to eat properly again and be able to breathe," during her nearly two-minute on-air resignation.

    I type medical transcription for a living. I've not seen any truly emergent cases come up in my queue so far, so there's nothing important enough for me to stay online. Fuck it, it's one of the last few nice days left of this season. I think I'll bugger off for the rest of the day and go fishing. I wonder if I'll have a job when I come back? Hurrr and Durrrr...
