job security

after that great meeting with the shop stewards - that night - wed - there was an event featuring an seiu janitor from univ of miami, as well as two security guards at Hvd - and Bonier - who is doing some relatively cool union support work after his stint in Congress. Very inspiring and so great to be able to do a class project around it.

But when I went to my first qual class yesterday - the prof couldn't be there, so she sent her husband, also a soc professor and someone I could totally see being friends with, but it was so painful to have him just read over the syllabus and not be able to answer any questions. thankfully, there was a firedrill in the middle of class...
