Another "wrinkle" I'd read in all the directives and guides that have been floating around is that your union has to have a current contract in place. Mine has expired and is being "negotiated" Here's the response back from compensation when I sent in my request yesterday. "Enquiry # #######...

Thanks DP, sorry for spreading false "Data", I'll put that rumor to bed around here.

Another former CF member just pointed out to me that if you go into your leave page in peoplesoft (Personal Information Summary), your start date now appears as your enrolment date, I just had a look and he's right. I could be wrong but I don't remember seeing that before.

News of the World. I'm sure they ran a picture of Bigfoot and the Easter Bunny doing shots last year. :)

Herb let me start by saying I'm not a doctor nor do I have any other sort of expertise in the subject of IOL's.  I do have three members of my immediate family who all developed cataracts at birth, underwent the removal surgery and depended on glasses and contacts well into their teen years...
