How safe is your job?

Megan even said she wanted to call in today and I should to and I said if I called in today, it could be permanent...

That doesn't sound like the Megan I read about!  Hope she's feeling well.

She just has a case of the Super-Lazy-Bug 

yeah, cold rainy days will do that to ya, sleeping weather!

Being self sufficient and knowing a few other trades doesn't hurt either. If I had to I would get a job in construction or whatever I had to do to keep the lights on

I really dont have any bills, I buy my shit with cash  the little bit of stuff I have anyways  ;D

Another thing that will give us peace of mind is our 401k can help us in an emergency, it can make your mortgage payment if you have to use it for that. Thats one thing that makes me wonder about all the home foreclosures right now, those people didn't have any savings they could use to get them by?

I know using your retirement is a bad idea, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do

My company layed off 16 people last week nation wide. doesn't sound too bad unless you think about the fact that there's only about 300 employees in the entire company...

Nice work you guys.  Sounds like somebody I'd want on my team.  Go the extra mile.  Take action without asking.  Good job!

Tgrt, where's the shop?

It's in Carrollton.  We do allot of tier 2 stuff for some big names.
