Resolving The Postal Conflict
Mood:

a-ok
In my attempt to do something intelligent in the Canadian postal dispute, I sent our CUPW union leader, Deborah Bourque, the following letter:

Dear Sister Bourque,

I have brought this idea of "severance replacement" to your attention before. This would involve replacing the present "severance package" with "a profit/pension surplus sharing agreement." This would also be a incentive for CUPW members to be more productive in handling the mail.

This would be a bonus system that would include everyone as well as management.

Various team concepts and incentives could be created from the idea that all can profit from improved customer service.

Of course, if there's no profit or surplus, there's nothing to share.

But lets keep our mind on future prosperity and get the members involved with bonus incentives.

What do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Crazed, striking postal zombies wreak havoc on scabs, supervisors and politicians across Canada. Laughable and disgusting horror flick has been done better elsewhere. Zero stars.

not sure
This is my entry into "The Dumbest Limerick Of All Time Contest". Please give me your vote.

I've never seen a purple cow,
I hope to never see one,
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see,
Than be one.

My Anniversary At Canada Post
Mood:

lucky
I've been working at Canada Post for a long time. When I was studying to be a minister, I needed a job to pay for my studies, so the Post Office did the trick. I never became a minister, but I continued with CPC. Basically, I stuck with this day job to pay the bills. Pretty soon, I'll be able to collect my long running investment in this place called a company pension.

I've worked at many jobs(actor, singer, miner, laborer, counsellor, etc.)in my life. The "real me" is not on the shop floor of a Post Office, in the pulpit of a church or on some other "theatrical stage". The only time I get true satisfaction is from putting words together on a paper and telling stories.

What have you done with your life? Is there anything, you feel strongly about?
