I feel so left out.I was just sitting here wondering what everyone's vacation schedule is looking like. ...Residents of SoWal need not reply.![]()

I think it is 1,500 layoffs. I had the # wrong. They do this every couple of years. Have huge layoffs, clean house, then hire younger, college graduates at a much cheaper rate after a year or so. Mr. JR has always survived the layoffs, but the downfall to all this is he ends up having to work more hours to replace the ones they've laid off. Sort of a catch 22. We just get nervous and vacations, large purchases, have to be put on hold.3500 engineers just in Chicago???? Yikes! I'm afraid I haven't been watching the news much lately - must have missed that story. I hope his job is safe JR. And that you make it to Sowal, too!!!!!

Thank you.You see this all over corporate America unfortunately. It feels like a slap on the face - work for me 20 years and oops - now I can get someone younger and cheaper.
JR - I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Trying to pay this bills on one paycheck can be difficult.

I think March has morphed into April; just found out I have to work--yes, I said work--at the end of the month, so that puts us into April.What happened to March?![]()
