This will have to be brief but I plan to do a more detailed post on my Patreon.
UM. Yeah. So, there was a vote to decertify the union at my work. It was... interesting.
So because of X, Y, and Z, I am now the first union steward of my store to ever exist. Sadly, I don't get paid more for this and it means I do work outside of work hours too.
But yeah, I've been nonstop working because of this and my reading and writing have been at all-time lows. Like not that I'm complaining but I set goals for myself and I really want to obtain them. These are self-inflicted personal goals too so I don't have to do them by a certain date but my "to be read" pile keeps growing because this job is relentless when it comes to giving free books and I never deny free.
I don't know who trusts me with this task but in all honesty, I volunteered myself without consulting anyone so I only have myself to blame.
Sheldon (from SASWTF) currently laughs at me as he gets to be entertained by my suffering now instead of the other way around.
The crisis is over but the work I'm doing has only just begun. I hope I can get back to writing soon. We'll see. I have a work trip later this month because of my new title so maybe I'll have time in between to write while there on my phone using Google Docs once more since I don't have a laptop. Or maybe I'll crash once more due to executive dysfunction.
Good luck with your new responsibilities for collective bargaining! I work for the state so my union is huge, but I'm ever so grateful to just be part of a union. Sounds like so much work for you though! Good luck and I hope you find some balance soon!
