Well, I've been at work for an hour and a half and no one's bashed me over the head with a picket sign or threatened to break my kneecaps, so it's all good so far.

As I hoped (and suspected), there was no picket line anywhere near the press. I guess they're concentrating on more visible areas. And of eighteen C&Ts at the press, at least eight of us are here--and there are a couple of people I don't know about, so we could well have half the people here. And two people are probably coming back tomorrow. So, while I didn't make this decision based on what others are doing, it is good to know that I'm not alone.

Oh, the Rev. Jesse Jackson is going to lead a rally tonight. I think I'll skip that freakshow too.

This strikey thing happens periodically. It happened while I was there, if I reckon correctly, and once while the Boy was there, some years later. Ah well. Like the turn of the tide. Have a good one.

Yeah, looks like labor relations here are historically acrimonious (to say the least). I hope this one doesn't last as long as some of the prior ones.

And I thought I remembered a Yale connection! Div. School, no?

I'm glad things are quiet at work.

Why does Rev. Jesse Jackson keep showing up where you least expect? Yeesh.

I love the Doonesbury cartoon with the interview with Jesse's mom in which she says, "Well, we just wish Jesse would get a JOB!"

Don't we all.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I know--shouldn't he be negotiating peace in the Middle East or fathering an illegitimate child or something?
