looking ahead ...

Well ... the union meeting was last night, and it was the typical dysfunctional gathering. The initial presentation was pretty good (regarding civil service rules about a reduction in workforce). But then the floor was opened for questions and comments ... and it's apparent that those in charge (at the union) aren't really interested in hearing views/opinions that differ from their own. And then you could feel the discord between those employees who've been working for the state for quite a while and the 'newer' crowd.
What did we learn? Not a whole heck of a lot! But if there are any layoffs, it's going to be quite a while before anything comes to pass ... like in November or December. And then there may be choices to be made rather than accepting a layoff. Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.

I am fighting a head cold ... the past two nights have been really rough, with my head plugged up despite the use of nasal spray. I'm taking amoxicillin now and that seems to be helping out.

Signed my evaluation this morning ... MT told me that I'm off probation now. Definitely good news!!

Saturday is supposed to be our first canoe jaunt of the season ... and it's supposed to be warm & sunny! Warm as in 80 degree temps! wow. It'll feel good to get out like that and enjoy the water.
