Oh man, I really hate to hear that, on all counts. As it gets closer if you think there is a chance it’s going to happen we could always move the get together up to Sept.

I’m flexible on the timing. I sure hope for the best with your job situation, frog.
I just went and asked my boss when the contract expires and he said he thought it would be the end of October, probably the 31st, so I think I’ll be ok for the weekend of the 20th/21st. Whew! I sure hope so! I’d sure hate to miss it and I wouldn’t want you to have to reschedule on my account because other people have probably made plans to come that particular weekend.
They never know if there’s going to really be a strike until almost midnight on the night the contract expires. It’s like they’re playing a giant game of Chicken with each other, trying to see who’ll blink first. It’s just really nervewracking. The last contract negotiation was about 6 years ago and it went down to the wire too. It’s crazy.
