Self Portrait Sunday 3/22/09
Sunday again, already?? Man, where does the time go? It’s been a pretty good week, and the weather is absolutely gorgeous today!! I actually got out for a little while. It was one of my best friends’ baby shower today, and we had a good time, like we always do. She was scheduled for a c-section on April 3rd, but her blood pressure has been high so she may be having the baby as early as Wednesday!
Anyways, I took this picture right after I got home. Wanted to get this post up as soon as possible because I don’t know if I’m going to need to go into work tonight. The Union at the place where I work is in contract negotiations, and they vote in about half an hour. If they accept the contract, it’s work as normal tomorrow morning. If they vote no, they’ll be on strike, and I have to go in and handle some administrative things as soon as I get the call. Then I’ll be headed in at 6am tomorrow. Technically, noone has told me that my schedule has changed, but the rest of the plant will go in at 6, and I have no intention of being the only one trying to cross a picket line at 6:45. I certainly don’t want to need safety equipment just to get into work. Of course, everyone who knows that striking is a possibility has horror stories to tell about some union that their sister-in-law’s cousin’s nephew’s friend’s brother heard about that went on strike and they broke people’s car windows and threw bricks and and and and!
We’re all hoping that management and the union reach an agreement, but right now it’s just wait and see! But at least I got my self portrait up, cause that’s the most important part, right?
