AFSCME Strikers (Oct 24 2003 05:59 GMT) - I stopped to talk to these strikers at the University of Minnesota and asked them how they saw their strike as connected with other recent strikes. As expected, they are mostly concerned with the near doubling of their health care costs and they were aware that the other strikes were mostly about health care. Right now it is just 1800 clerical staff that are out on strike, but the medical technicians there have also voted to strike. |

Green Fairy @ 10/23/2003 06:27 AM (Oct 24 2003 05:59 GMT) - When I was an undergraduate and worked in Mothercare, one of the many things that was fucked about the shop was the temperature regulation. In winter, the place would be so cold that everyone turned up wearing five layers of thermal underwear because they insisted on keeping the shop doors open and the uniform jumpers they provided had circulation-stoppingly tight necks and cuffs, and the staff toilets used to have icicles haging off the iside of the windows.

Clich made real (Oct 24 2003 05:53 GMT) - You know the old saying, 'Worry yourself Sick'? Well, those who read my thoughts back when I was on Geek's World will recall that when the stress becomes too heavy for me, my body is the first to tell me, and I will not hide that I have been very stressed lately. This was brought to a breaking point today when I woke up at 8:30 and promptly had yo be sick. I know why this happened, sadly, and I know that I likely put out a lot of people when I called in sick, but I knew by noon that I would not be in any condition to go to work. |
