Hi All;

So....yes, Meltdown will continue and be finished. But it is going to take a while yet. I have just finished 3 years on my union's bargaining team getting a tentative agreement for 70,000 of our members. I finished the last ratification vote on Friday, and my mind can now concentrate on other things - you know, like writing.

I have posted a couple of pieces of poetry in the last few days, but it may take a while to get the next chapter of Meltdown out. I have bits and pieces of the next chapter - right now just a series of disjointed paragraphs with the odd longer section thrown in.

But now that I am done with collective bargaining for the moment - my muse was more attuned to CA clauses and language for MOU's and the like for the past three years; I should be getting back to work on Meltdown soon.

Like I said, no firm date on when the next chapter will be posted, but it is coming. Right now, I think it will be another 4 to 5 chapters in total, but we'll see.

Kate, I can truly relate to

Kate, I can truly relate to what you are saying about being 'bone tired' after doing Union negotiations. I was a "Shop Steward" in two different Police Agencies; and also sat on the other side of the table as a Personnel Management Specialist in the Federal Government.
Glad you are now done with that, at least for the next three years, when it will start all over again.
