Tuesday Day 2 Negotiations T A

Our very strong team met with the district's team today. We achieved a TA (tenative agreement) YEAH. We are trying to get our side letters back into the contract itself. The reason they are side letter is that they could based on shaky agreements that have to stand the value of time before they may become somewhat permanent parts of our contract.
We worked on one such today. We came to an agreement and the assistant sup brought in her easy button from staples and punched it. We opened a serious can of worms as the table next. It is an idea that the district is not willing to discuss but must since we brought it to the table and it has to do with money and working conditions. It will be interesting to see where it goes.

When I got home Sue was not excited about me being gone for the the day.. despite the fact I brought her a piece of sugarless berry pie from Jantz the Mennonite bakery.

I had a turkey sandwich on home made roll for lunch. Wow it was good.

Tomorrow we are taking the other side out to lunch with us.. that way they can become better acquainted with our team members. It will be the last of the negotiation sessions for a period of time.

Still doing a lot to get the wedding to occur on Saturday. We are stuffing goodie bags,

Last night we stuffed jordan almonds into net circles and tied them off with a ribbon. We found out that Megan a bridesmaid is wearing a brown dress. Sue and I went off to Ross to find some alternate sun dresses for Heather. She found 2 more that would fit in the brown schema. So whatever is not used will be taken back to Ross.. or so the theory goes.

Nice to watch some of the game last night over the phone with my sis. We also watched the 50 biggest sports blowups.. She was watching without sound.
