Zamboni Driving

So today was a big day at work. I found out that in 6 months (around July 1st), city union employees will no longer be employed in my ice rink. What does this mean for me? Well, I have to learn, i mean polish, my driving skills on a Zamboni. I will have a tremendous amount of responsibility added to my plate. I'll have to hire new drivers and train them. I have to build a new budget, and will have 100% responsibility for the ice maintenance for my ice rink. I'm ready for it. I've been waiting for this moment. It will give me a lot more job security in the crazy economy that we have to live in. All in all it's a good thing for the city, and the employees that are being taken out of the ice rink will not lose their jobs, they'll be absorbed in to the Water Department, so I'm happy for them. I'm nervous as all hell with the amount of preparation that needs to happen between now and then. I know there will be a lot of animosity towards me from the union, but the way I look at it is, hey, it gives all of better job security, and how can you argue with that! Sometimes people just need to get that bug out of their ass and focus on the more important things in life. Ok, I'm falling asleep due to a long week, and looking forward to some nice r&r, wait a minute, Dave, Connie, Sis, Rick, Ben and Lindsay are coming down on Saturday (Whoo-hoo!), comedy show, drinks and partying, can't wait, till next time!
