* NW Labor Council Breakfast. I hate breakfast meetings - I don't think clearly before 9, and I am always worried about my alarm not going off so I wake up multiple times during the night before early meetings. The same used to happen when I worked day shift in nursing. I am so much more an evening person. Still, the people at the NW Labor Council are really nice, and kind to someone struggling with such challenges. I promised to go back next year.
