Well, it's finally over with!! As most of you know I'm a union negotiator at the plant I work at. We've been in negotiations for a new contract since March and it's now a done deal!! The ratification vote was about 92% in favor of, which, to me, is vindication of the comittees hard work. In this day and age when unions are getting weaker, every contract gets harder and harder to make gains on. Fortunately, we made no concessions anywhere and made gains all across the board.
Now that this is over with, I can now come out and play a little more and Bev can quit rolling her eyes at me lol!! |

Congrats Ron! I could see Bev's point of view. That many months of listening to the tales of the nogotiation table. 
Good to hear your union came out on the better side of things.

Well, I must apologize for being so on and off this year. It's been a tough one for me with incredibly high highs and lower than low lows. There's been times when I've asked why, been really angry and broken down and then times where I've been lifted up, comforted and enveloped in the deepest love from members of this board, My God and the wonderful people in my life.
Life has been at a beyond hectic pace this year and not just mine, I get from a sense that all of our lives are just speeding up big time. Scares me to think we're a few weeks away from Christmas again. I haven't even had time to think of what Priestly items I want to ask Santa for ha ha ha! |

No kidding. You've been through alot. Good on you for keeping it all together.  Don't think I would be able to handle so much going on.
As for Christmas, you can always ask Santa for some peace and quiet next year...or you can ask him for Scottie.

Thanks Guid! Although that question was not as "need to know" as the bus question, I'm still glad to have for insane trivia to store in my head. If I ever get enough science in there, I'll be ready for Jeopardy!...................well,...................except the stage fright thing where I would stand there looking straight at the camera with a big dumb look on my face, just like I did when I was in "romper room" as a child. HA!!! Sad, but true.
