colour outside the lines

not being 'perfect' at everything; cutting corners; innocent white lies;

I bend the rules from time to time; "yeah, I colour outside the lines now and then"; I'm not perfect you know!

Just like when you're colouring; it's not the end of the world, if you go outside the lines. You're only human.

CUPW

The union has approximately 54,000 members and has a long history of militancy originating in 1965 when the union was formed out of the old Canadian Postal Employees Association.

CUPW - they are there to protect members to the fullest! Protection which includes, bullying, harassment, intimidation, and my favourite, wrongful dismissal! CUPW does a amazing job protecting workers!
