You know what, last year we didn't even get one. It came out of no where. This year staff is coming together to try to get the company unionized, and management just recently found out. Me thinks it has something to do with that- maybe trying to get on employees good side or who knows. The timing of the bonus seems a little interesting.

I haven't had any positive experiences with unionizing. What has always happened is that I end up making less take home because the union dues are greater than the net differential. Then, since the company is paying out more money in wages, they don't refill job openings, thus increasing the workload on the other employees. In the end, I ended up doing more work for less money. The only ones who get anything out of it are the unions.
I got another text from my dad last night. 
his area was devastated, but he survived. His apartment now has no roof, and he thinks his car was swept away. Not that it matters, since the roads aren't passable anyway. Thank The Lord that my dad planned ahead and shipped himself a box of imperishable food before he got there... Because otherwise he'd have none. Now he's sharing what little food he has with local refugees, and today he's going to try and hike to our farm where we host our children's outreach program and check on the children and the mango trees.
Theres no power or anything so he said this could be his last contact with us for a while, since his cellphone battery was dying.
I am still heartbroken for the people there who are suffering and I am continuing to pray for everyone affected, but I am so thankful to have heard from my family. I know many others are still waiting and worrying.
