Not feeling as depressed today, huzzah.
News of the strike: The judge presiding over the injunction hearing recognized the ultimate futility of forcing the teachers back to work, and put her finger on the heart of the problem. She ordered the district and the union back to the negotiation table for at least 8 hours a day for the next four days, and if they don't come up with an agreement, she'll see them 9am Monday morning. Frankly, I wish the mediator had done this five weeks ago. At least the judge is smart enough to figure out who needs a smack down! Hopefully both sides will work out something that can get the kids back to school starting Monday.
I want to point out that an AT-AT from Empire Strikes Back looks really cool attacking the Space Needle.
