Peace Be Unto You
ø
I have worked a weekend schedule for many years. It was convenient for both me and Harvard. The Pinkertons hired to outsource us, have become increasingly inflexible about scheduling us. When they first came in, they argued that using contract workers would allow scheduling flexibility. But as time has gone on, accomodating “the vendor” has increased in priority. More and more decisions are made without talking to the workers. There was some awkwardness about my vacation. I could not go to Crawford. I apologized to Cindy. They didn’t even ask about this Saturday, but I didn’t really expect that they would.
I’ll be here when you get back …
…waiting by the door.
