BUSH DIARY FEBRUARY 1996:
2-2: Had a meeting with ASNA reps, seems they want us to be ASNA employees by April first.
Wedding Vacation Plans: have changed. NSB will cash out my annual leave so that shoots my April vacation all to heck. I will have to start all over accruing leave. I have revised my plans to attend Charlies wedding in California on the 21st. I will take a week off for that and return as they may not have hired a manager by then. Tim was extremely not interested in wearing a suit so he will stay home and cat sit Bradford.
ASNA Bennies: We will get 100k term life insurance, same wages, Aetna health insurance and they will pay about 70 dollars per month per dependent. I will enroll in another Valic plan and sock away the maximum.
Our TDY Pharmacist, Jerry Mahony flew from Barrow to Ohio last week. We were notified that he was found dead in his apartment. He had a bad heart and even though his doctors were all over him about diet and work restrictions, he ignored them. He was a good guy but he particularly detested a non-smoking poster of Fabio that hung in Medical Records. He would occasional slap on yellow sticky paper with mustache, glasses, etc all over the poster. Fabio was in pretty sad shape by the time Jerry was done with him.
Got employee evaluations done. Why does it feel like I do this about every other month. Ugh!
Wedding plans: Trying to coordinate with the other mom regarding style and color of dresses. I am very grateful not to be arranging a wedding. My only plan is to buy a dress at Nordies. Yay!
2-15: Marie Caruso arrived to work on the X25 telecommunications pad thingie. It turned out the connection at the back was bad and she fixed it. She also discovered that the ports had not been set up. Fixed that. I can now chat computer to computer with area and Albuquerque.
Later that day in the middle of a big boring Safety meeting a full code was brought in, and promptly shipped to Anchorage. Good job.
2-20: Local initiative on banning alcohol. Every one and their registered dog voted on Tuesday. There was quite a turn out. About 900 votes yes to ban alcohol and about 700 voted against banning alcohol. Therefore we are officially dry on 3-1-96: People will have 60 days to use up (stash away) their supply. It cost the City of Barrow 9k to hold this initiative. This also means that all of the stores must store alcohol containing products away from the shelves such as mouth wash, vanilla extract etc.
Pull tabs: Is an interesting business. Just about any one can open such a business as a fund raising venture. You are limited to one million in profit per year. People need to be careful, story is told that a martial arts person started a pull tab business to open a martial arts academy, made four million bucks and blew town, no academy. Yeppers.
Tax papers: The Idaho tax lady sent back papers for us to sign and mail to the Feds. We get back 3800 dollars. Yay us old joint return folks.
February is a short month so G'night folks.
