the last

Tonight I chaired my last meeting as Bargaining Unit President.  I got a lovely gift and card, but the best gift of all is how great I feel about it.  I have no doubts, reservations or regrets.  I know that I have made a tremendous contribution to the Unit, and that they will miss me for a bit, but I also know that the people who are taking over are capable, dedicated and quick learners.  I will continue to be involved in negotiations and pay equity, but it won't be the daily political grind.  I am just so happy!

There are still lots of things to deal with this year, not the least of which is staffing, but that will get sorted in due time too, some of it maybe even while I'm off having surgery!  Bonus!!

Last evening and a good part of the night I had no power, so no internet and no blog.  I didn't even have to think about doing it when I heard everything start up about 2:30 AM, just rolled over and went back to sleep.

I need blood work done in the morning and forgot to make an appointment, so will have to take my chances and hope I'm not too late for work.  That's it for tonight, other than I did fine tonight with all the extra goodies at the meeting, even chocolate.  Yeah...

Love, elly
