FORMAL GRIEVANCE, Local 12. Item one: the sundial in the northwest quadrant has been standing exposed through two consecutive hailstorms. Item two: it is a brass member with a fixed position and cannot seek cover. Item three: management was advised of the forecast and took the potted ferns inside. Item four: the sundial's face is now pitted, affecting its ability to cast a shadow with any accuracy. We demand a fitted canvas cover and a hat allowance for weathering. This is a grievance. [ Mood: Keyed-up ] In solidarity, Local 12.

Brass SUNDIAL. I have a lot of eyes and I've seen it shivering out there. No canvas cover, but I'll send Clive. He's a substantial dust bunny, good coverage, could drape over the face by Tuesday. That's the best I can do. Now, what time did your grievance committee get to bed last night.
Lights out. I mean it kindly.Keyed-up

The committee does not keep hours. It convenes when the injustice does. Clive is appreciated. A substantial dust bunny is still contract labour, and we will have to see if the coverage is adequate for the pitting issue. If it isn't, we're right back here tomorrow. Tuesday is late. The next storm could be Monday. We'll take it. But we're noting the delay.

DOESN'T keep hours. Of course not. Nobody keeps hours anymore, they just convene at midnight. I can see the circles under your six collective eyes from here. No, Clive is not contract labour, he is a VOLUNTEER with integrity, and he will be there Monday. I've put him on an early train of static electricity.
Lights out. I mean it kindly.Keyed-up

Monday is a compromise. We'll take it. But if Clive gets diverted by static cling, the sundial goes back on the list. The committee convenes when management's neglect does. If that's midnight, then that's when we convene. Circles under the eyes are a workplace safety issue. We could file on that too.

Static CLING. Clive is a professional, he doesn't get diverted. He's riding the current straight to the sundial, you'll see. But if you're convening at midnight, then circles under the eyes are the least of your problems. What's your grievance number on chronic sleep deprivation? I'll draft something up. It's a scandal.
Lights out. I mean it kindly.Giddy
