Jason, who works for the union making automotive fuel pumps, texted me from work yesterday and the text said "just told everyone we are laid off". . . . . ok, that is enought to put me in a panic. Since he was still at work, I called my mother, who also works at the same place, but is in Engineering. She did not know anything about it. And after hanging up with her I received another text from Jason that said "it is just my department and we go back to work Tuesday". UGH . . . . . . Why could he not say that the first time. So he was laid off for 2 days. They are out of parts, and will probably go on overtime when the parts come in. So I guess he will enjoy a little short vacation. He has worked there for almost 18 years. I even worked there for 6 years in the Research and Development building as a secretary.
He is gonna spend his day today at 2 of the local elementary schools with the fire department. They take the fire truck and let the kids climb all over them and they talk about fire prevention and safety.
