First on my mind is the long flight home to Las Vegas. Lucky for me, I'm in Business Class. My poor titanium knees that don't/can't bend all the way just simply can't contort in small, scrunched spaces.

Secondly, I am so energized with all the positive energy from this union conference. Now I know how much I really NEED union EEO training, if I'm going to be effective in this position of Fair Practices Coordinator. I am also so very proud and glad that I have spoken with our union officials at the National level of AFGE and let as many of them as I could manage to speak personally to know that we GLBTQ folks want and *expect* an equal place at "the table" of equal employment opportunity. We don't want "better", we want and deserve EQUAL, and we fully expect (and will hold to task) our union to ensure that we have exactly that.

....and.....

It's been such a grand and glorious week here with union brothers and sisters. I just wish more people from my own local could have come. Maybe next year they will bring this training conference to Fabulous Las Vegas!!!
