Today marks the first FULL-DAY of negotiations for our contract at school. These negotiations should have started sooner but the big hold up is insurance. Apparently, our current insurance has offered us a 26% increase to keep them which is ridiculous! The negotiators and our insurance guy at school has thus been investigating different options. The best chance we have at reasonable insurance is getting involved in a consortium pool. The problem with this is that there will be no ability to negotiate benefits...it will all be set. In addition, the consortium we're trying to get into is very exclusive and they may not accept us because of the high pay out we've had recently because of the number of people battling cancer in our district. This along with Kasich's budget is bound to set my life back a bit. Seriously need to start job searching.
In other news, the Reds have once again come from behind to win. Trailing in the 8th, 5-3, we came back to win 7-5...mainly due to Cubby error. We'll take it any way it comes. HOWEVER!!! I'm so sick of our boys having to come from behind to win a game...it's never easy. Same as last year! Loves me some Reds but they are trying to make my hair turn gray!
In other news, it's raining here - AGAIN! I should just break down and turn my backyard into a pond...raise a few ducks (hey, I dreamt about ducks last night), stock it with some fish, put in a few lily pads. In the winter, I could use it as an ice skating rink. That could be good times! I'll have to think on that one for a bit.
Have I mentioned that I have no idea what I'm doing at school for the last two weeks? I'm completely at a loss as to what I'm supposed to fill the last days with. I just finished a book and for the next couple of days we'll be doing a collage but after that? What? I can't start anything new...I'm just so DONE! Ugh!
Okay well, that's all I've got. Later!
