Strike Update
Just checked my email... the contract ratification vote that was supposed to be counted tomorrow and announced Friday has been moved back a week. The reason for this? Political mail (which we all hate anyways) is clogging the USPS so the union members aren't receiving their ballots. So now I have another week of not knowing if I will be going on strike and it brings any potential strikes that much closer to Christmas and Breanna's birthday...
In addition to that, the van wouldn't start yesterday. I cleaned the terminals and still no go. From the way it was acting it seemed to be a problem with the starter motor. Had it towed to the dealer and turns out the battery is just dead. While we have it there, we are getting a bunch of warranty work done (airbags sensors aren't working, power lock on one door isn't working, power steering leaks, one sliding door makes noise when it closes) so even though the battery isn't covered, the rest of it is and almost totals more than what I paid for the warranty.
