Jo you sound as bad as me with the working. What are you doing? I did all 12 hours last week except for 2 days. Monday I had 8 hrs and Wed. I had 9. I had to work 11 hours on Saturday and got Sunday off and slept about all day. On vacation this week. -

yesterday our power was out for quite a few hours and I was getting cold. It's all back now and I was glad. Someone was moving irrigation and knocked out the wire and snapped a pole.

we had some cold weather here last week and it has warmed up now. Tonight we have very heavy fog and I hate driving in that stuff in the morning. I had such a sick headache last night that I went to bed at 8:00 and so then I woke up at 1:30 🙁

Hi Marson, long time no see and thanks for the tip. I did sign up for the antiques board but saw that nobody has been in there awhile. I have a little military medal I bought and BamaJ was good at that 🙂

Well all I can say is we are working 7 days a week and no days off. It gets old. Then they were going to have 12 hour lines too. They got the lines back to where it wasn't 12 hour lines but they're so short of people that they either force you to stay over or come in early so you're doing 12 hours anyway.

No they blocked off one side of the plant with semis. It was mainly a scare tactic that worked. They voted the new offer in.
-
beetique posted an update Friday, Oct 12, 2012, 6:40am EDT, 11 years, 7 months ago
Well this morning it's back to the union hall this morning to see if we go on strike. Company put a new offer to us and then they pulled a bunch of semis around the back parking lot on one side of the building. So I'm betting their offer is no good.

Too bad that company changed so much. We had a pension plan until this year even though it was froze for 10 years. When I first started working there I was getting $9 an hour and that was 19 years ago. Insurance was free. All good things come to an end tho. A friend of mine walked in and quit yesterday. The people upstairs are trying to get rid of all the older employees. They are succeeding too.

The company came out with a better offer but it isn't any better than what we have now. Thats the latest update. We have a new meeting Sunday. We work Sat and Sunday this week and next week too with no days off during the week either.

It SUCKS Jo. Tues and Wed. this week the company and union will meet with the federal negotiators. We'll see what happens. After they meet then the union was going to have a meeting but the company put all the lines working next Saturday and Sunday. So we will be working without a day off for a couple weeks. 🙁 I heard a noise in my car before I got on the interstate so I turned around and went home Friday. I called in. That will be a point against my record. When you get 5 points, they fire you. (In a 6 month period) I have 2 now. If you call in on a Saturday or Sunday it is 1 1/2 points.

Been warm and humid here too. I have to get up at 12:30 TO GO IN AT 3 am. tonight. I signed the overtime because I thought I'd get forced on a bad job and I need the money. Our contract is up and we voted not to accept it the Sunday before last. We also voted to strike. We'll see what happens.

The corn up here did have some kernels so it's not a total loss. There are some where the ears didn't develop very good because the rain didn't come soon enough but at least there is corn. Some have already started harvesting. Everything is going to go sky high.

Well Jo I have Etsy and no sales either and I'm still too busy or lazy to work at it much. I finally got some ambition to paint the dining room. I have the primer coat on and now waiting for it to dry to put the new paint on. If I get it done tonight maybe Archie will move the china cupboard over there instead of the living room, where it is now.

Hi all. I don't think any place is good online any more. I'm on Etsy and it's dead. Maybe sales will pick up for the holidays. I've been working hard and never even got a garden put in this year. Guess I will have to buy tomatoes. Ugh. I got rid of most of my stuff when the flood came this past year. It all went to Goodwill and the trash. 🙁

Shelly, That was an awesome buy. As far as I'm concerned, the Mavica is the best camera ever for taking jewelry pics. Speaking of cameras, Archie bought me a Nikon for Valentines Day. He never gets me a Valentines present except for the first year we were together he bought me flowers. I was really surprised.

Hi all. I see this chatboard through Google reader. Still keep up with you guys. I see Pawdee was asking where all the joolies are. I'm still working hard. Been doing a lot of running after the kid and Granny too. Everybody is fine. I had a day off last Sunday but didn't go anywhere or do anything as I was too tired. I'm gaining weight too as not cooking anything good for you. 🙁

We thought at first it may be a blood clot as her leg was really red. Anyway she has a black sore with a lot of red around it and she is diabetic. They are pumping antibiotics in her. TTYL.
