My full time supervisor tried to dick me out of the first two days, but I'm better at office politics than he is.

Time to vote for the local leadership. It's disheartening because my current local leadership supports Hoffa, but they're also pretty competent. And because they support Hoffa, we've got an outsized representation. Multiple people on national negotiating committees for the upcoming UPS contract. On the other hand, that doesn't mean shit if they aren't willing to push the envelope...

I've learned enough of FreeCAD to know that I don't like it. Had to reinstall my system because the linux distro I was using didn't have an operational OpenSCAD package. Greetings from Ubuntu 17.10! I now have OpenSCAD, and can get back to tweaking the Mini Kossel parts to accept v-slot.

I'll have seen Gogol Bordello by this time next week. 1,700 people venue. Very excited.
