One year this week I have been sucking up obama money, cut lose after eight years, the company went from 1100 down to 700 something when it was my turn. Now they are down in the low 500s. The office in Phoenix went from 150 to maybe 30. They like most other companies will never get back, they won't be hiring many people, they are doing with what they have, the people still there work harder and are happy to still have a job so nobody complains about long hours.
We have taken a couple trips and plan on some more, might as well see something since the chance of a job is slim. My wifes company got bought by someone in Texas so her last day was in September. We weren't going to Texas.
They only wanted manufacturing and she wasn't in that.
The only real bad thing is I don't exercise as much as I did when I worked, just getting heavier. I hope it isn't the beer, I have tried to cut out bread and cheese.
Here's a shot of the coast this evening as we went for a walk.
