You know, I'd bet it was either UPS or FedEx who actually "seeded" the earth in order to get that volcano to erupt. Everyone knows that either management would do anything to extract additional work rule concessions. 
Frankly, I've very surprised that after 6 or 7 posts in this thread, no one has made the above claim. It's good to see everyone being so mellow.

Ah yes, Chuck Terpentine and his gang of merry men. Righting wrongs, saving boxes and calling in well, when they are sick. Where do we find men of such intestinal fortitude.......why, only in management of course! I for one, am damn glad we have them. Good luck to you. BTW, even though Chuckles was a Tomkitty guy, this might apply. Photos of a Finnish F-18 engine after he got caught in the ash cloud.
