ON STRIKE!

So today’s Labor Day, right. So what do self employed folks do on a holiday such as this? What else, we all went to work.

With Folsom less than 20 days out, the place was jumping. Griffin, Nerdy, Kitten, even Galahad and Tambo pitched in today to help get us ready for the big event. Sure we still have a massive amount left to do but thanks to their hard work, things are looking great.

Now in honor of it being Labor Day and all that, they did agree to form a union. The Intergalactic Brotherhood of Rope Gnomes, Perverts and Ommpa-Loompas. That’s right; the Abbey is now a union shop. As soon as they all agreed that a) they would form a union and b) that Nerdy was, in fact, not an oompa-loompa (she’s too tall and has never worn spandex while in the presence of Johnny Depp) they immediately went on strike.

Their demands are as follows;
1) Wireless broadband access throughout the entire Abbey
2) 50% increase in moral turpitude
3) 1 chocolate waterfall (but will settle for a krispy kreme hot icing fall)
4) More anti-fatigue mats
5) The immediate end to “No Pants Thursdays”
6) A piñata shaped like former president Jimmy Carter filled with mini cheese wheels.
7) Secret decoder rings
8) Payment in currency other than the giant stone coins of Easter Island.
9) I must never, ever, EVER talk in my “Mickey Mouse as a Leather Daddy” voice again.

Perhaps I should outsource the entire operation to India?
