It's like this...

I went to sleep around 11 or so last night. I woke up around 2 and never went back to bed. I couldn't. Couldn't sleep, couldn't turn my brain off.....just couldn't. I watched tv. I was going to read but there wasn't enough light in the living room and I couldn't read in bed because that would have woken Lance up. So.....tv. Mind numbing tv. There really isn't anything good on during that time period. Have you ever noticed that? Most are paid programming for kitchen gadgets you can't live without, exercise machines you need after you get the kitchen gadgets and eat yourself into a coma and ads for making millions on real estate etc. So I lost a few brain cells. My Dad got up around 5 or so. He put the leash on the beagle and went out to walk her. Not before he sat and talked to me and brought on more tears from me. Not sure he noticed since it was dark in the living room. He came back into the house and asked me if Lance was on picket duty. No...

Uh huh. Yeah. According to this article , they've been called back to the table by the FMCS (another fed agency that loves to use letters) Now the negotiations are under the asupices of the FMCS and they're doing it in Washington, DC. Yeah, cuz last time that whole negotaiting thing at Disney World just didn't cut it. I'm guessing there wasn't enough mickey mouses down there for them so they had to move it further north. You may be able to tell that I'm nearing my breaking point. This was never fun to begin with, but for crying out loud, this is ridiculous. Boeing is refusing to NOT lay off the 2,000 IAM workers and the IAM doesn't want them laid off. While I can see both sides of that argument, there absolutely HAS to be some middle ground. That's just one sticking point in this contract bruhahah. One. They didn't even get past that one last week when they sat down to talk. I still think they need to call in Sister Sheila with the mad ruler-...
