It is going to be a beautiful day. Approximately 85 degrees out, and the last thing I want to do is write a 5 page psych paper. Alas, it is due on Sunday so it must be done. I think I will knock it out today, early morning, so I can enjoy the rest of the day. The problem is, I would like to get a run in before it gets too hot, and my car is so dirty I can barely see through the windshield. I think Andrew might be earning some extra cash by washing my car (I refuse to pay a professional place), in addition to his yard duties. I'll probably do my exercise because that cannot be done any other time and the paper can be done this afternoon. We are going to an Eagle Court of Honor Sunday afternoon which means we have to allocate the things we do today accordingly. I wish the professor had made the paper due on Monday, I hate these middle of the weekend things. The one drawback of online education.
Usually we go to Monterey this weekend. Really, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We did not plan much because of the strike threat. It has not happened yet,maybe today. Joe would have to work 12 hour days, 7 days a week, for the first 3 weeks, then they would start getting one day off (of course this is without compensation because he is a salaried employee). During the last strike, 5 years ago, one of his colleagues did not show up for his strike assignment and was told not to come back. The outcome of this "stand" will set precedence for the rest of AT&T contracts across the country that are coming due in the next year. AT&T has given their "best and final offer", so we'll see what happens.
In case you cannot tell, Joe is not a union employee, he has to work in case of a strike, or what will probably happen...a lockout of union employees. At least their proposed contract called for a raise which managers did not get this year.
