I just got the word from my union hall supporting me if I quit. Monday I'm going in and asking for a lay-off, if they say no, I quit. My hall says I can have my choice with work. I'll likely have a job by Monday afternoon. What a relief.

I still work there...right now. Tomorrow may be another story. I put most of my eggs into the Bruce Power basket so I'm very worried right now about the decisions I have to make. Being a whistle blower is not an option right now. I've already said more than I wanted to.

We wear dosimetry, but not for the type of radiation that people were exposed to. In the news releases that have been coming out, they claim the dose rate aren`t enough to cause radiation poison, which would be an immediate effect. Gamma radiation passes through you and they can easily determine what dose rates they assign to you. Alpha radiation does not have the power to penetrate a piece of paper. However if it is ingested or breathed in, it stays in your body and attaches itself to your organs or just bounces around in you like a pinball. It has a 50 year biological half life. Which means the long term effects are far more dangerous than the immediate effects, imo. Bruce Power did not set their radiation protection procedures up to adequately protect against alpha, meaning respitory protection was often not required. It should have been. They are doing the same work in New Brunswick and at no time there were workers allowed to enter the vault without respitory protection. Bruce Power did not have the same requirements.

That project is set up to fail. They brought the same American that got run out of Pickering for fucking that place up during, it`s last restart, to run that project at the Bruce. He has it even more fucked up than he did there. Mark my words, it was union busting since day one. Man I could go on and on, and some day I might, but not now. Bruce Power has failed us in a big way. I`ve always lived with the philosophy that wheather or not I agreed or disagreed with the Nuclear Industry, especially rebuilds, that they needed people like me there that would work hard and be responsible. I feel a real responsibilty to the public when I go to work to make sure the job gets done right. Well let me tell you these guys don`t give a fuck about me or what I think. It`s all about the money.

actually, I`m not on that list but I certainly was involved in the work. Should I be on the list, Probably. I really have to be careful, I trust nobody right now.

:surprise: Thanks Bruce Power. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/767541--workers-face-long-wait-for-results-of-radioactive-exposure I`m a tough fucker and can put up with a lot of corporate bull shit but I`ve about had it. The numbers that are being made public for possible exposures are imo, being greatly under estimated. I`m fucking mad. I have the whole code of conduct thing I signed, so I don`t want to talk a whole lot about it, but I`m quitting very soon and then they can go fuck themselves.

yeah, that would be it.

P90X, from what I hear is a killer work out, or you could come to my place and chase Jackson around for a week or two. You`ll feel like Rocky 3 in no time.

What is it that makes this man so angry? He's one of the most famous vertically challenged dudes ever (Just to be somewhat politically correct).That's gotta be a lot for a man to carry. Is he disgruntled? Weird for sure. King Kong sized balls.

That place has always treated us well. They always have bluesfest deals and being so close, they've always been the best choice. We've partied our asses off in there and they've never said a word, believe me, they probably should have. A bunch of us stayed there for the first nero reunion shows. Damn that was a good time. I'm pretty sure we paid full pop for the suite. We always found that with a group of people in the suite, it was really cheap when divided up. Anyways, it's worth $209 for the suite. I think they accept CAA and get a discount, not much, but it's something.

Family Day is every day, I don't need a day off to remind me of that. I do appreciate the extra dough though, after all, I have a family to look after.

I've been using this guys online drum machine for a couple years now. Fun times.

3 days of 12 hour shifts all at Double Time! oh yeah!

Mickey's life has gone down hill ever since being fired from Disney. Micky was caught smoking crack with Pocohantas in a bathroom in the magic kingdom. He was last seen pimping out Pocohantas, to horny children, to feed their ravaging crack habit.

i knew there was probably a thread about it.

Anybody ever been to this before? I imagine it should be fairly family friendly. It looks pretty sweet. I might try to take a few off and go. http://www.waneefestival.com/

"The Art of the Swindle." Nintendo should sue.

Miscalculated my sched so I can only make it for Tuesday.

I think we're going to pay when it comes to number 2. Our boy has essentially slept for 12 hours a night since he stopped needing milk every few hours. Sure there were the odd nights but bedtime has always been fairly easy. Nap time is another story. booche, you should probably not let your brother babysit for you.

Yeah walking changes everything for sure. You'll learn the three feet rule, everything pushed back 3 feet or it's free game. This thread is so cute :blush: :drinks:

Teething can do weird things. I could never understand what a tooth coming out has to do with a big rash on the ass. Everytime Jackson teethed, it was always accompanied by a rash on the ass.
