Well shit.

Looks like I'm laying off my second shift guy on Monday :(

Much of what we do ends up in military fingers and since the cutbacks got put in place it trickles down to me.

And him.

Sucks.

It's rolling pretty quickly.  Not taking this anywhere near a policy discussion, but you'd be shocked at some of the proposed cuts that I've seen in the last several days.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Tell me about it.  I've got 22 unpaid days off on the way and overtime is cut. :-[  So glad I got my refinance done last month, at least the hit Ill be taking will about half of what it would be if I were still paying PMI.  Still, no more monster mods for a while.

I feel really bad about laying that guy off. My minions are like family.

I'm working hard to bring more work in so I can get him back before he hires on somewhere else.

I really hope that doesn't happen.

What you need is some 30 weight ball bearings and some gauze pads.  It's all ball bearings nowadays.
