Jan. 23, 2012: fresno county workers on strike

Well today we went on strike due to a 9% pay cut.  The picture above are my fellow co-workers.  Since I am almost ready to retire and being that I have worked for the county for mega years, I figured i would stay home and rest my old bones.  It was raining in the morning and I was not feeling good so I stayed in bed.  My dad came close to noon time and we had a good visit.  I do not stress about anything anymore.  My stressing and depression happened  from 2008 until 2011.  I lost Jeannette on September 2, 2009 and nothing can be as devastating to me as loosing my baby.  The pain is with me all of the time.  I might be short on my next paycheck but I will manage and not stress.  The strike we are in is for a good cause and I support the cause but I am not all fired up about it like my co-workers.  They are young and do not have much time in with the county like I do.
