Wow, I just got back from a great jam session.
Well, it was actually a rehearsal, but at the end, the band just sort of took off on the song Broadway by George Benson. Everyone got a solo, including yours truly.
Fun stuff there.
Amy finished with her classroom training tonight. She doesn't have the word yet on her final grade, but I KNOW she passed with flying colors. I've already figured it up for her, but, worry-wart that she is, she won't believe and celebrate it. Now all she has left is the clinical stuff starting in a couple of weeks. She can't wait to start sticking REAL people with needles. Did I mention that shes a bit of a sadist? I'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on.
Workouts are still going well. I did a mile swim this morning and it felt good. For some reason, no one is showing up for morning swims lately. I've been the only one in the pool this week.
Strange.
It may be time to drop my swim coach. He didn't show up either...
Ok, time for bed, 'night.

Weird Monday And The End Of The Contract
I dunno what just came over me...
This morning, I got up early and did my normal Monday routine, run/leg workout, got home and everything was cool as cucumbers. When I got to work, man, it was like a wave of depression just slammed into me... from the moment I logged into my computer, I felt... a weight. I did what I needed to do, and got out of there as quickly as I could without even talking to anyone.
I don't like this feeling.
Our Union contract reached it's end this past Saturday at midnight. The company and our Union representatives are still at the table trying to come to an amicable agreement.
As I understand it, we (The Union) are just wanting things to remain status quo. The company, however, wants to make some pretty big changes to our health care coverage, how much we pay for that coverage, and a number of other things, claiming the "poor economy" is cause for the changes.
I could understand that if we were someone like GM, but we're not. Our company is still very profitable. We made something like 13 BILLION in profits last year, millions were handed out in bonuses for top execs. Here is how it was put to us in contrast(approximately):
"One of the guys who wants to make you pay more for your health insurance makes 1.2 million dollars every 23 days."
We'll hold out to keep our benefits as they are. Thanks.

I didn't have my computer with me yesterday morning and THAT'S why I forgot to write. Honest.
