Lay-offs

Today was the big lay-off day at the mine. Apparently, they called in every worker here, whether they were getting the boot or not. I'm surprised they didn't take unnecessary commercial breaks before they let the poor guys know. "And now, we will find out if you get to keep your job or not. YOU..... HAVE.... First let's take a commerical break and get a quick word from our sponsers." Anyway, Andrew was laid off, so we are onto contingency plan A. (Looking for work in WI.) I think my dad already lined up a job for me in case things would go his way. He had a hard time sounding really sorry for us. :) Andrew was asked to stay on until the end of March, so we have plenty of time to figure out our next step. We are both sincerely looking forward to this new oppurtunity and, at the same time, will miss what we are leaving behind.
