Idle hands and minds truly are the devil's workshop. TonyC's idea is pretty good...but it doesn't matter until next contract. I don't give a rip about all your little pet peeves. Y'all sound like you're conjecturing on a will and already arguing about what you may or not be left by a dead uncle. No wonder the company thinks they can have you cheap. As you were. My negotiating committee speaks for me! I'll like what they say I'll like and they asked me my opinion...and to help them work on my behalf i will support them....period.
