hallucination tired

Gah.

I went to what is known as a Region Forum for Canada Post and heard the president and CEO of the company, Moya Greene, tell us what she has in mind for modernising the dinosaur of a company. What I heard her say today is that there is going to be money poured into different divisions of Canada Post in an effort to bring it up to speed with competitors, but on the side I work in, collection and delivery, there will not be as much money and it will take something like 4 years before we start to see the effects of the initiatives being put forth. This means 4 years of management on my level having to be creative with the limited resources we have at our disposal, and 4 years of people having to pull a bit more as a unit to get the work done. And while we were inside taking part in this, our CUPW associates protested outside with their placards, despite having been invited to participate. How we're supposed to make any of this work with that kind of attitude is way beyond me.

Anyways. This was a daytime event and I work nights. I had last night off to make sure I was awake for this, but my sleep patterns are now twisted and messed up like mad as a result. I do not expect to make it through the full night now. I may have to go in and get things ready and come home and get some rest; I thought I would be able to bounce back from a switchover but apparantly no...

That is all.
