It might finally be time...

Well it might finally be time for me to get off my butt and get serious about opening my own shop. Things at the post office don't appear to be going well. We are going through a two week mail count which is how they determine the pay for each rural route, and things aren't going very well. The route I work on is being counted by the regular, who is the assistant state steward for our union, so she knows EVERYTHING there is to know about mail count and our route evaluation appears to be losing ground. It seems that we will be losing 5 hours a week which is alot for one route to lose. So if she is as dilligent as she is and we are losing ground I shudder to think at how the other routes are doing. It is quite possible they may end up having to adjust routes which may result in a loss of a route or two in our office! NOT GOOD! So after this madness ends on March 7th, and they calculate everything we have until April 26th when the new evaluations go into effect. That gives me time to work on getting my shit together. I've already signed up for a level one cake decorating class which starts on March 4th. I'm very excited about it too! Now I'll have to get serious about the research portion! Wish me luck!
