... at Fort Jackson. We're driving. Me, the wife, the boy, and my son's fiance.
I hope my car makes it, and thank you to two generous NES members who helped to sponsor the trip. I won't embarrass you by mentioning your names, but God bless you for your contribution.
So I put in with the School District for personal time. I requested one paid day, and two unpaid days. I got word today that the two unpaid days were denied.
See, the union went to work-to-rule today over a stupid nothing of an issue, and the School Committee and Admin is playing hardball. So they figure "if the union can read the contract, so can we". And the contract doesn't allow unpaid leave except under those circumstances specifically referenced in the contract.
I love being a member of the union.
So I told them, as politely as I could, to tuck it up their ass, and I'll see you Monday.
I've got enough in the pension fund to live for three or four months.
