Wednesday

Lots of rain, massive snow melting, some local flooding, massive fog. Drove to work at a consistant 10 MPH under the speed limit (I am usually that much above, because didn't you know? Sspeed limits are just suggestions). The fog was so thick that I couldn't tell when I was hitting flooded parts of the road until I was under water and the steering got damn near impossible. I survived, the truck survived, and as far as I know, everyone else around survived too - so no big deal.

* * * * The company got an order for almost $10,000 in curved tips. That may mean that I'll be doing some contract work for them in January - or maybe not, we'll see.<

That would be good. At least it might keep you going for a month longer.

Or a week anyway.

...glad you is ok (driving wise)...I know it sounds a bit like shooting yourself in the foot - but isn't there a temptation to tell the company that to "fuck off" and get someone else to fill their order because you are busy looking for a job :^)...yeah, I know - the world doesn't work like that :^(...can we hope that this means if other orders comes in they will continue to retain you?...so do we now start hoping for more orders :^)...

It's a nice dream about orders coming in, but they have already terminated their lease, effective early February, so it's not going to happen. Anyway, all the processing equipment is going into a garage in California toward the end of January.

It was never that we didn't have orders, we just never get enough to pay the bills so the owner was constantly supplying money. He got tired of that, sold what he could and that, is that.
