4 weeks can go faster than you think

But still not fast enough.

After negotiating a whole collective agreement, almost getting locked out and then negotiating a collective agreement, and then starting three others, you can lose all track of what day, month or week it is.

And sure enough, a human is like a steam engine: when there's too much pressure, it'll blow. As soon as it was all over, I got a fever of 101.

Then yesterday I watched the movie Cinderella Man, and wept like a small child for a full two hours.



If you haven't seen that movie, do so immediately. And have a box of tissues with you. Yes, it's a boxing movie, but it's set in the depression, and it's very moving. The line that sent me into audible sobbing:

"Mr. Braddock, what are you fighting for here?"

"For milk."
