The Meeting

Yesterday's union meeting was full of talk about early retirement benefits, selling bonds, ratification drive bys and insurance subcontracting. I wrote up notes for my colleagues back at the compound but most of my remarks were prefaced with comments like "I'm not sure but..." and "What I think I'm supposed to tell you is..."
I hope they don't lose confidence in me. I'm in way over my head and it's embarrassingly clear to me that I'll probably never acquire the identity of the proficient union rep. This is humbling. I prefer to be good at everything I do, whenever humanly possible.
