Friggin Unions… I told you so.

The Service Employees International Union, considered the most influential union in the nation, has notified the union that represents about 220 of the SEIU’s national field staff members and organizers that it is laying off 75 of the employees.

Unions have outlived their usefulness. They are more “the man” then the damn man is. It’s time to think productivity and not personal gain or cover-my-ass. Frickin’ professional associations, trade unions and the like have done more for creating a have vs. have not society than the damn elite classes…

Then again, maybe I’m just jealous…not.

Apple released the Macs so I thought I’d finally upgrade. The joys of an intel chip are now all mine. i picked up Parallels and a kvm switch and spent the weekend breaking the whole system.

My Desk

Once again I am missing climbing. Of course I still haven’t gone back to physio nor booked my oil change, so I am batting 100 on commitments. So as a reward I will show you all my desk.

Cheers!
