“You all know how grateful I am to all of you and to everyone’s families,” he said. “The sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could ever ask for. So, I just want to say cheers to the strikers. Cheers to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh."

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

It's odd when there's like no one in the office and yet there's still no room for my glass in the dishwasher.

Me (thinking): But is that goal reasonable? It's not exactly within my ability to control. But I guess that's the whole point. What about a timeline? I guess I should set a deadline. Otherwise I'll be waiting forever. Now as for metrics,
