Thanks Robbed for the kind wishes.
This will be a good year. I can say personally that the year just past has been a "good" year. My children are healthy and doing well in school. My oldest will be graduating college in the spring and looking forward to a bright future. I have moved on from the pain of ending a 17 year relationship with a company that had grown into one that uses and despises its employee groups. My new position has a very bright outlook and I actually look forward to coming to work everyday. So 2007 will be good. I know several ex nwa strikers that will also be having a good 2007.
My advise for anyone still working in the trenches at nwa...if you get a chance, bail out. You'll be happier.
