I Wasn't Going To Vote For Him Anyway
Good thing Obama wasn't at the top of my list - now that I find out he's related to Satan's father Dick Cheney there is no way I can vote for him. Yes yes I know it's something like 8th cousins once removed or something like that. I don't care! He's not getting my vote.
Who is you ask? Sigh - probably Hillary but I don't know yet. I am still undecided.
Just a quick follow up on the union meeting. It went pretty well. The one employee took his $1800 check with a smile on his face (of course he did) and out of the four other grievances only one really had any merit. The best part is we were trying to decipher one of the grievances (me, plant manager, shop steward and union business agent) and we could not figure out who he was talking about when he alluded to someone getting "his" overtime. So we brought him in to explain.
The first grievance was because when he came into work on Monday there was too much work (I'm not kidding) and he thought he should have been called in on Sunday (double time) because he had to work really hard all day to catch up. Can you believe this shit?
The second grievance (same guy) was about the "fork lift driver" getting his overtime. It made no sense and the guy he was complaining about has seniority. Which automatically negates any claim of overtime. So what does this guy do when he hears he's losing both? He threatens to go back to his "old job". Right now he is currently covering a position for someone who is out sick. In this position he makes about .60 more an hour and works anywhere from 20-30 hours of OT. In his old position he gets less money and a lot less overtime - but he's going to teach us a lesson and go back to his old position. Good job - I'm sure your family will be thrilled with the cut in pay. Even the union steward was blown away by this and finally told the guy to get out of the office. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.
10pm and I can barely keep my eyes open....DAMN YOU RED SOX!!
And DAMN YOU BLOGGER for being so Mac unfriendly. Sometimes I can upload pictures - sometimes I can't. None of the italics, bold or underline work on my mac and you can't spell check. It's starting to piss me off.
C'mon get with the freakin program - it's not like Macs came out yesterday.
